Hohenbergia belemii

A tank bromeliad of the Atlantic Forest in southern Bahia, Brazil, mostly recorded in the coastal cacao region around Ilhéus and Una. Like other Hohenbergia it forms a large, stiff rosette that holds water in its centre and carries a branched inflorescence of spiky flower heads. It is a warm-growing plant that wants bright light and steady moisture.
