Just and idea for a terrestrial bromiliad living somewhere in South America in a swampy environment. |

Don't see why not. TFIW has shown that this idea is viable, at least in the tropics. |

TFIW is NOT a good source for plausible reasoning Anyway terrestrial bromeliads are very likely to exist in the Allocene, there are already many non epiphytic forms (including pineapple ) : ![]() ![]() I have thought of some species of water-bearing bromeliad species living in humid mountainous areas, and serving as home for the larvae of mosquitoes, dragonflies, amphibians, etc. |

The modern bromeliads already are homes for the larvae of many insects, tropical frogs, etc. That said, I'm not sure just how many of them will live in mountain forests, humid or not. |

Bromeliads already live in a broad range of environments including deserts and mountains, so... |
