Where it grows wild

Epiphytic tank bromeliad of wet lower-montane and cloud forest on the Amazon-facing Andean slope, on mossy trunks and branches in bright filtered light and near-constant mist. The epithet refers to its ascending inflorescence.

No GBIF records carry an elevation; the single climate site sits at about 1215 m, consistent with lower montane forest.
