Vriesea andaraiensis

A Vriesea described by Leme from the Chapada Diamantina in Bahia, Brazil. It is known from the Serra do Sincorá near Guiné at about 1,300 m. The climate there is bright and seasonally dry, with warm days and cool nights, so it wants more light and a drier winter than forest Vriesea.

Where it grows wild

Collected near Guiné in the Serra do Sincorá (Chapada Diamantina National Park), a landscape of quartzite campo rupestre with forest patches in the ravines. The labels don't record its growth form; many Vriesea of this region grow on rocks, so it is treated as lithophytic here.

The records are at 1,301–1,312 m.
