Vriesea penduliscapa

A Vriesea of the humid eastern Andean slopes of Morona-Santiago, Ecuador, recorded near Limón (900 m) and near Guarumales on the Azogues–Méndez road (about 1770 m). As its name says, the flower spike hangs down, which suggests it grows high on trunks or branches. Almost nothing else is published.
