Anmerkung: Espejo gibt in seiner Arbeit "Viridantha" an, bei T. mauryana seien die Antheren schwarz. Auch in seinem Schlüssel der Arten gibt er dieses Merkmal als charakteristisch für T. mauryana an. Bei meinen Untersuchungen waren die Staubbeutel zur Zeit der Anthese gelb-oliv und postfloral oliv-braun.
Eine Form von T. mauryana ist sehr auffällig. Sie soll hiermit abgegrenzt werden als:
Habitat and Range Tillandsia mauryana is proven only for the north of Mexico (State of Hidalgo). The type location is in Venados valley near Metztitlan. There, the type grows with cacti on steep rock-walls. Other Tillandsias growing there seem to be deviant forms of Tillandsia fasciculata Sw. 1788 and T. juncea, Ruiz & Pav., Poir., 1817, which necessitates even further research and observation.
Moreover, there is a further habitat of T. mauryana near Tolontongo, also growing on steep rock-walls above the river valley. The plants always grow at steep rock-walls. Epiphytic growing examples could never be observed.
Beyond these two locations, we could only discover one another location, in Hidalgo too: at Aguas Magicas del Vite, at 2000 m, near San Regla. There we could find only limited numbers of plants.
Cultivation Tillandsia mauryana is undemanding in cultivation. It can be kept outside in summer without any difficulty. —SeeEhlers 2009a
