Guzmania monostachia is an epiphytic species in the genus Guzmania . Also known as a West Indian tufted airplant, [3] this species is native to South America (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela), Central America, the West Indies and Florida. [2] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] The species is also reportedly naturalized in Hawaii. [13]

Contents

Guzmania monostachia is notable as it is a facultative CAM species, converting from C3 photosynthesis to CAM under high light treatment or drought stress as a protective measure. [14]
