Guzmania pseudodissitiflora

A little-known Guzmania described in 2008 by Luther and Norton from the Amazonian foothills of southern Ecuador, named for its resemblance to G. dissitiflora. Only two wild records exist, both near Zamora at about 1,200 m, so the profile below is built from that site's climate and from what tank-forming Guzmania of wet foothill forest generally need.

Where it grows wild

Wet premontane forest on the eastern Andean slope of Zamora-Chinchipe, where cloud and rain keep the canopy humid year round. Like most Guzmania it is presumed to grow as a tank epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches under the canopy.

Recorded near 1,190 m; the records carry no elevation, so this is the site's terrain height.
