Tillandsia nervisepala

A little-documented Tillandsia of cool, moist montane forest in southern Ecuador (Loja) and southern Colombia, recorded at about 2250–2700 m. Little is published on its habit, so conditions here come from the measured climate at the collection sites and from montane Tillandsia in general.

Where it grows wild

Wikipedia gives subtropical or tropical moist montane forest; labels come from Reserva El Bosque and the Loja–San Lucas road in Loja, and the Sibundoy valley in Putumayo. Whether it grows on trees, rocks or both is not stated on the labels seen.

Recorded at about 2265–2690 m.
