Justification: A terrestrial bromeliad endemic to coastal Ecuador where it is known from two subpopulations in Guayas and three in Manabí. Not known to occur in Ecuador’s protected areas network but may be present in the Parque Nacional Machalilla. Few threats are apparent because the plant apparently adapts well to artificial environments like road cuts. |
