Where it grows wild

Described by Cáceres González from Panama; the records sit at around 770 m in premontane rain forest on the Caribbean-facing slopes, where Guzmania grow as tank epiphytes on trunks and branches under a humid canopy. Detail beyond that is generalised from the genus.

All three records at about 767 m.
