- Add Note: Andy Siekkinen (2014-01-02) - ~450ft elevation in the state of Colima (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Add Note: James (2014-01-03) - It could be T. setacea (tenufolia)? T. bartramii also occurs in Mexico. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Add Note: Andy Siekkinen (2014-01-05) - It is larger than those species. The leaves are a bit succulent and involute. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Add Note: Eric Gouda (2014-01-06) - In some ways it resembles Tillandsia eistetteri Ehlers, but that is not particular succulent, so it could be more close to T.bailayi and could well be a new species. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
