Vriesea pauciflora

Vriesea pauciflora is a rarely recorded epiphytic bromeliad of Brazil's Atlantic Forest; its name means 'few-flowered'. Flora do Brasil treats it as endemic to Rio de Janeiro state and grows it as an epiphyte in rainforest. Little else is published, so grow it like other small rainforest vrieseas: bright shade, humid moving air, and water in the leaf rosette.
