Espeletia (Compositae, Heliantheae) is a major component of alpine and subalpine plant communities in the Venezuelan Andes. A detailed analysis of population dynamics was undertaken for Espeletia species representing the arborescent, caulescent rosette, and acaulescent rosette forms. Mortality, growth, and reproduction were recorded during a 15-month period for E. schultzii, and E. lutescens (caulescent rosette species), E. floccosa and E. atropurpurea (acaulescent rosette species), and E. humbertii (an arborescent species of treeline forests). Espeletia floccosa is obligately semelparous; all other study species are iteroparous. Microenvironmental variables were measured at all sites.
