Guzmania victoriae

Guzmania victoriae Rauh (1976) is a Peruvian bromeliad known from only seven wild records, all at about 2050 m. The coarse climate grid for the sites describes a dry inter-Andean valley, which is unlikely to be the plant's true microhabitat: Guzmania of this elevation live in moist cloud-forest pockets and ravines, so the profile leans on the genus rather than the raw numbers.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte or bank-dwelling tank bromeliad of humid montane forest fragments on the eastern Andean slope of Peru, where fog compensates for scant rain. Species-specific ecology was not reachable; generalised from montane Guzmania.

All six records with elevation are from 2050 m; the species may occupy a narrow altitude band.
