Justification:
An epiphytic, hemiepiphytic or terrestrial bromeliad endemic to Ecuador. Five collections have been made on the Lita-Alto Tambo road: two at kilometers 17 and 20, one in Alto Tambo and the other two at kilometer 1 of the Alto Tambo-La Puntilla road. The type was recorded in the Los Cedros private reserve and two additional collections have been made in the Reserva Etnica Awá. Occurs inside Ecuador’s protected areas network as the paratype was recorded in the Reserva Ecológica Mache-Chindul. Habitat destruction is the only known threat to the species.
