Vriesea aureoramosa

A rock-dwelling Vriesea described by Uribbe and Costa from the granite inselbergs of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The name means 'golden-branched', probably referring to its inflorescence. It grows in the herbaceous vegetation islands on the bare rock at 580–950 m, so it wants strong light, warm days and a drier winter.
