Tillandsia globosa

A small Brazilian Tillandsia of subgenus Anoplophytum that forms dense, rounded clumps; a white-flowered form (var. alba) is also grown. Very little ecological information is published for it, so this profile generalises from related eastern Brazilian Anoplophytum species that grow on trees and rocks in bright, humid, well-ventilated places.
