Tillandsia jaliscopinicola

A rarely collected epiphytic bromeliad endemic to Mexico, named for Jalisco and for living on pines. The only GBIF records are the type locality in the mountains of southern Jalisco at 1,400 m and a collection from Pinus oocarpa forest in Oaxaca at 1,700 m. Almost nothing is published about its needs, so the advice below is based on seasonally dry Mexican pine-oak forest.
