When time and funding permit, each flower (each plant species) will have its own page, and its own PDF, and eventually its own PPT so that professors and students have plenty of material on Guatemala (and Honduras, etc) to study.

Bibliography on Catopsis berteroniana |
Catopsis is a genus of bromeliad whose name comes from the Greek word “katopsis” meaning view. Perhaps this name is given to this genus because they are most often found taking in the view from their perches high in tres (Booth, n.d.). What is interesting about Catopsis berteroniana is that is considered carnivorous, it traps insects and use them as a sort of nutrients. You can find this curious plant in the treetops, since is an epiphyte plant. It is distributed in the whole continent of America in humid forests, dry forests and mountain mesophilic forests, from 0 to 1200 meters above sea level in warm humid or sub-humid, semi-warm humid and temperate humid climates. You can find more useful information in the bibliography we have created for you. Taxonomy:
