- - Aechmea lilacinantha is a typical terrestrial or sometimes epiphytic species of the high altitude Atlantic Forest, mostly composed by short trees, sharing the habitat with A. nudicaulis (L.) Griseb., Neoregelia carolinae (Beer) L. B. Sm., N. chlorosticta (Baker) L. B. Sm., N. leucophoea (Baker) L. B. Sm., N. petropolitana, Quesnelia lateralis Wawra, Tillandsia organensis Ehlers, Vriesea heterostachys (Baker) L. B. Sm., V. longicaulis (Baker) Mez, V. philippo-coburgii Wawra to name the more conspicuous elements. Certainly, its population is spread over the higher sites of the Reserva Biológica do Tinguá, suggesting the need of a survey to monitor its occurrence and evaluate any current risk for its survival in the whole area. —See J.
