Justification: An epiphytic bromeliad endemic to Ecuador's Amazonian lowlands where it is known only from the type, collected near Kawapi. In November 1995, seeds were collected from a fruiting specimen, germinated and cultivated and the plant flowered in June 1999. Not recorded inside Ecuador’s protected areas network but may occur in the Parque Nacional Yasuní. The locale is being deforested due to colonization. Habitat destruction is the only known threat to the species.
