A rare epiphytic species native to the high Andes of Ecuador. Information in cultivation is limited.
A rare lithophytic species endemic to Rio de Janeiro state in Brazil. The plant has a distinctive form with short, soft, densely lepidote leaves that are dramatically rounded at the tip. It is related to T. gardneri, T. geminiflora, T. kautskyi, and T. sprengeliana. The inflorescence is short and compound with pinkish-red bracts and magenta flowers. In its natural habitat, it grows on nearly vertical rock walls at high elevations, which protects it from collectors.
A recently described species from the high-elevation forests of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia, near Bogota. Named after Chingaza National Park where it was discovered. The species is notable for its floral parts densely covered with a resin-like substance and exceptionally long fruits. Although it has distichous flowers and petal appendages, morphological affinities place it in Tillandsia subgenus Allardtia rather than Vriesea.
Famous for its extremely thin leaves and massive fenestrations that can occupy up to 90% of the leaf surface.
A large epiphytic species known as the "Queen Anthurium" due to its exceptionally long, narrow, pendant leaves that can reach 60-120 cm or more in length but only 10-20 cm in width. Leaves are dark green with prominent silvery-white venation and a velvety texture. The leaf surface has a quilted appearance with slightly raised veins. New leaves emerge with a bronze to copper coloration.
