HABITAT and distribution. Besides the type location this species was found at different other habitats in Guatemala: San Marcos, Huehuetenango, Quetzaltenango, Chimaltenango und Totonicapá (personal report by Uwe Feldhoff, Guatemala). Another habitat in Guatemala is located in the state of Quiche, between San Cristobal Verapaz and Uspantan at an altitude of 1250 m, where it grows on trees along with Tillandsia punctulata, T. welzii und T. multicaulis. At this locality the plant was already collected in 1992 by me and my husband Klaus. —SeeEhlers 2011c
