This form of brocchinia remains rather contained and small, reaching just over 20 cm. However, it has a large leaf like a classic brocchinia.
Brocchinia is a genus of plants belonging to the Bromeliaceae family. It is endemic to southern Venezuela and Guyana. In particular, they live in Venezuelan highlands called Tepui, which are 1000 to 2000 meters above sea level.
They have modified leaves, fused to form a sort of amphora.
The leaves fill up with heavy rainfall and act as a trap for insects that fall inside.
