Comment (Taxonomy): Initially Rauh wanted to dedicate this new species to its discoverer Enrique G. Kamm.

Entry comment: The gathering number was unclearly written in the fieldbook and could be misspelled as «44149», although it should be read as «44143». This happened several times, even Rauh read it incorrectly and cited it as «Rauh Nr. 44 149» in the protologue of the new species Tillandsia hondurensis. As the holotype was designated with number «Rauh 44149», this number is stored as gathering number in the WRHP database. [CNS 2015-10-23]
