Deuterocohnia lotteae

This small clumping bromeliad was formerly in the genus Abromeitiella, but this genus was then merged into Deuterocohnia. It has small highly succulent dagger-like leaves, with sharp teeth along the edges. The tubular flowers are reddish, rather than green like its more commonly-seen relatives D. brevifolia, D. chlorantha and D. lorentziana. It grows at high altitudes in the Bolivian Andes.
