(section Jutleya)Publ: J. Bromeliad Soc. 50(1): 3-9 (2000)
Distribution: PANAMA; Cocle,
Habitat: pre montane rainforest at the eastern end of the Cordillera Central, 700 m. Elev.
Phenology: Curiously, in every case examined, the left (to the plant) flower opened first. Several days to perhaps weeks afterwards, the right flower would open. The flowers are nocturnal, and emit a pleasantly spicy fragrance somewhere between the scent of freshly cut ginger root and garlic. Plants were collected in flower in late December.
