In a region where it doesn't rain, roots are useless. Fog, however, can be abundant. So a plant that absorbs all of its moisture solely through its leaves is going to thrive in a climate where the majority of water is available in vapor form rather than droplets of rain. Such a set up explains why these two Tillandsia species - T. marconae and T. landbeckii - thrive here.
Check out this episode of CPBBD and observe the only genus of plant that's able to survive in the foothills of this part of the driest desert on Earth, 12 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean.
