Encholirium is a genus of plants in the familyBromeliaceae, subfamily Pitcairnioideae. The entire genus is endemic to Brazil.[1][2] The genus name is from the Greek “enchos” (spear) and “leiron” (lily).[3]
This genus occur exclusively in arid, rocky conditions. Some species of Encholirium are limited in number and have been the focus of conservation efforts.[4] These plants, which have been observed being pollinated by bats,[5] are commonly confused with Dyckia.
