Guzmania manzanaresiorum

A little-known Ecuadorian Guzmania described by Harry Luther in 2000, recorded only from the wet Amazonian foothills of Pastaza and Morona-Santiago at about 900 to 1200 m. Treat it as a warm, evenly humid tank epiphyte of foothill rainforest: constant moisture, soft light and no cold nights.
