Locality: Colombia - Cauca Department - Southeast of Popoyan, Purace National Park, Cordillera Central Range, in the paramo at the well-visited thermal springs and further south in the park.
Photographer: Scott Sandel
Note: I reviewed the 62 species on the FCBS site, but this one isn't there. The rosettes are typically less than 0.5 meters across, and they form thick mats. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Identification: solved

This is a guess but this species has been collected neat the National Park. I am sending you a description direct to you so you can check it. If you are going to do more exploring it may be worthwhile joining the WWWBromeliad Society. That way you get a CD and access to lots of descriptions (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Identification (11126): Walter Till (2013-09-30) =P. cuatrecasasii
- I agree with Derek Butcher
