Vriesea neoglutinosa

A large ground-dwelling vriesea, roughly 80–120 cm tall in flower, from the coastal restinga and granite outcrops of south-eastern Brazil. The inflorescence has red bracts and a red axis with yellow flowers. It lives in hot, bright, sandy or rocky places near the sea, so it wants strong light, warmth and a fast-draining mix.

Where it grows wild

Grows on the ground in restinga (sandy coastal scrub and herbaceous plains behind beaches) and on rock outcrops and inselbergs, including coastal granite hills around Rio de Janeiro. Herbarium labels describe it as a terrestrial herb.

Herbarium specimens range from about 7 to 660 m; most are from coastal lowlands near sea level.
