Vriesea pauperrima

Vriesea pauperrima E.Pereira is a bromeliad of Brazil's Atlantic Forest region, recorded from Bahia and Espírito Santo south to Rio Grande do Sul, from sea level to about 1,230 m. One label cites mussununga, a white-sand scrub-forest of southern Bahia and Espírito Santo. Little else is documented, so these conditions follow Atlantic Forest Vriesea in general.
