Guzmania ocellata

Guzmania ocellata was described by Smith and Steyermark in 1968, and Steyermark's collections point to Venezuela, but no wild records, elevation or habitat notes for it are available. The profile below is a genus-level guess for a Venezuelan montane Guzmania and should be read as such.

Where it grows wild

Unknown. Guzmania species of the Venezuelan mountains are mostly tank epiphytes of humid premontane to montane forest; that is assumed here.

No recorded elevations; probably montane, in the broad 800 to 2000 m band typical of the genus in Venezuela.
