  • Puya Raimondi (Puya raimondii) is an endemic species of the altoandina zone of Peru seen here in the Puna at approximately 4000m. The species is the largest bromelaid and an endangered species. This plant has a gigantic inflorescence that is unique all over the world. It reaches up to 10 m height, with more than three thousand flowers and six million seeds in each plant. Its biological cycle is approximately 40 years. The plant second from right shows charring from fire that spreads so rapidly in these regions contributing to their scarcity.
