Vriesea fidelensis

Vriesea fidelensis is a bromeliad described by Elton Leme in 1999. It is known in GBIF from a single record at Bela Joana in São Fidélis, northern Rio de Janeiro state, which the name refers to. Almost nothing about its habitat is published in accessible sources, so the care below is generalised from the genus and the region.

Where it grows wild

Not documented in the sources available. São Fidélis lies in the lower Paraíba do Sul valley, where the surviving Atlantic Forest is mostly on hills and granite outcrops.

Unknown. The single record has no elevation, and the climate uses a regional placeholder at 582 m.
