Neoregelia desenganensis

A tank bromeliad named for the Serra do Desengano in Rio de Janeiro state, known from very few records in montane Atlantic Forest. Treat it as a cool-tolerant Neoregelia: bright light for colour, fresh nights and a drier, cooler winter.

The single record is assigned about 1650 m; the true elevation is uncertain.
