Guzmania melinoki

Guzmania melinoki is a name of uncertain application: GBIF accepts it with Regel as author, but no wild records, description or distribution attach to it, and it is most likely an orthographic variant of Guzmania melinonis Regel from northern South America. The profile below is built on that assumption and on the genus in lowland to lower-montane rainforest.
