Tillandsia moscosoi

Tillandsia moscosoi is a bromeliad endemic to the Cordillera Central of the Dominican Republic, at about 800–1,250 m. Records come from stream banks and rocky, limestone-strewn ground in the pine and humid-forest zone near Constanza and San José de Ocoa. It needs bright light, mild temperatures with cool nights, and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Specimens come from stream banks in the pine-forest zone (the Constanza falls), river slopes and degraded humid forest on limestone rocks; its exact perch (tree or rock) isn't documented in what we reached.

Wild records range from 808–1,250 m, median 1,052 m.
