DRY FOREST EPIPHYTES 
This picture I took in April in Baja Verapaz above 
Salama, Guatemala. The plants growing in this sum- 
mer-deciduous oak are Bromeliads. Note the pine in 
the background. Near here I found Epiphyllum guate- 
malense and Hylocereus guatemalensis. They grow in an 
area a little more moist.
