Neoregelia magdalenae

Where it grows wild

No species-specific habitat notes were found. It is assumed to grow as a tank bromeliad on trees or rocks in the semi-deciduous Atlantic Forest of the uplands.

The single record lists about 920 m, well above the coarse grid's 348 m, so the temperatures have been adjusted downward for altitude.
