Guzmania vinacea

Guzmania vinacea H.Luther & K.F.Norton (2008) is a recently described Peruvian bromeliad with no usable wild GBIF records; the single climate site in the data is a low-elevation point in Huánuco at 273 m and may not represent where it actually grows. Treat this profile as a genus-level starting point for a warm-growing Peruvian Guzmania and adjust to the plant's response.

Where it grows wild

Nothing species-specific was reachable. Most Peruvian Guzmania are epiphytic tank bromeliads of humid forest on the eastern Andean foothills; the one data point suggests lowland or foothill rainforest of the Huallaga valley.

No elevation records; the single climate site is at 273 m, but the species may well come from higher on the Andean slope.
