Vriesea exaltata

A Bahian Vriesea described by Elton Leme in 1999. Its 41 GBIF records all come from Bahia, at roughly 475–1500 m. The measured climate is warm and fairly dry with modest rainfall, so it should be grown bright and airy with a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Upland Bahia (records at 475–1500 m, median 750 m). The sources we reached do not describe its microhabitat. The relatively dry measured climate suggests montane or seasonal forest, or rocky outcrops, and an epiphyte in bright broken shade is assumed.

Recorded at 475–1500 m (median 750 m, from 9 records).
