Comments:
- While Aechmea marauensis is known to grow in lowlands of the coastal zone, both terrestrially as well as an epiphyte in the coastal plain vegetation (Restinga) and in nearby Atlantic Forest, A. guaratingensis is a typical inhabitant of the montain Atlantic Forest, around 700 m elevation, where it thrives more often as a terrestrial, despite sparsely distributed epiphytic clumps that were observed at the collection site. —See Pereira 1971
