Comments:

• HABITAT of T. rotundata is typically at higher elevations than T. fasciculata although there is some overlap. Tillandsia rotundata is reported at between 1400 and 2500 meters, and all varieties of T. fasciculata ( except var rotundata) occur between sea level and 1880 meters (Smith & Downs, 1977). Tillandsia rotundata typically occurs in pine and oak forests. —See Gardner 1984a
