B. Shetty 1974 Journal Hotel "El Repozo" Dept. Huachuetongo. 9 July in a small bromeliad, i went out of control! We chipped down a good 20 - [illegible] more, i ended up with 4 C rabbi + 2 B. resplendens . We basically worked up the trail, then saw some pines at the top, i decided to check it out. We went up, i found a really razor back ridge, a mixed pine - broadleaf forest. The pines had no bromeliads, but the others had plenty. We peeled a lot of apparently perfect pine bark and didn't find a thing. Then we opened bromeliads, i Paul got a chirp in one. I got 3 B. resplendens from one bromeliad, then we then worked south up the ridge to see where it went. We spent a bunch more bromeliads, i only got one resplendens from a rotted [illegible] hardwood log (I had also gotten one from bark in a hardwood log at the locality 3.) The last one came from [illegible], where the trail suddenly plunges down and we turned around. We later discovered that if you go down, the [illegible] mountain goes back up to another knob - it may be up there that the large llano that everyone talks about is. Or it may be on the next ridge to the north. In any case, it is worth checking out for rostrata, for we found none.
