Description

Bomarea glaucescens is a species of flowering plant in the family Alstroemeriaceae. It is native to Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. It grows in wet páramo habitat among Polylepis and next to lakes, as well as grassy páramo and Andean forests. It is not a threatened species but some populations are vulnerable to habitat destruction as the páramo is converted to pasture and pine and eucalyptus plantations.
