Guzmania mosquerae
A high-Andean Guzmania from Colombia and Ecuador. It was first described as Caraguata mosquerae and was later placed in Thecophyllum. The Colombian plant catalogue records it at 2000 to 3800 m, which makes it a cool-growing bromeliad of cloud forest and upper montane forest. Little has been published about its habitat, so grow it as a cool, humid, bright-shade plant.
