Hohenbergia salzmannii

A tank bromeliad of the coastal lowlands of northeastern Brazil, recorded only near sea level in Bahia. It lives in hot, humid, bright conditions with rain in most months, so it wants warmth, strong light and a water-filled cup year round rather than a rest.

Where it grows wild

Recorded from coastal lowland sites in northeastern Brazil, the kind of sandy coastal scrub and Atlantic forest edge where Hohenbergia species grow on the ground or low on trees. Detail for this species is thin; the habitat is inferred from the records and the genus.

Records sit at 15–40 m, median 20 m, so this is a strictly lowland, warm-climate plant.
