Identification:
- Note: Uwe (2014-04-25) - This is one of the larger species, which is cultivated with the name Neoregelia johannis, As the protologue is very poor, this species is quite mysterious, could be a (natural) hybrid or a species, but many species of the former Mata Atlantica are extinct now.
