A large population of Guzmania albescens was grown from field-collected seed and distributed by the Atlanta Botanical Garden and the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in the fall of 1992.
This new species is relatively vigorous and easily cultivated. It may have potential use in the production of pastel-colored horticultural hybrids. —SeeLuther & Determann 1993p. 43(4): 152-153
