Abstract:—My special interest in Inselbergs (rocky outcrops in the primary Amazonian forest) started with collections from a friend of mine, Joep Moonen, from a group of Insetbergs in northeastern French Guiana. These Inselbergs are dominated by mat vegetation composed of Aechmea, which is a new phenomenon for the Guianas. Mats of Pitcairnia (especially P nttda and P sastrei) were already known, but this phenomenon with large Aechmea species is new and possibly unique
