Tillandsia grazielae

A small, silvery rock-dwelling Tillandsia about 8 cm tall, known only from granite outcrops around Petrópolis in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Collectors describe it as a sun-loving saxicole on sloping rock faces, so it needs very bright light, strong airflow and quick drying, with a warm wet summer and a cooler, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Grows on inclined rock walls and outcrops in full sun (labels say 'rupícola, heliófila' and 'saxícola, heliófila'), in populations of several plants, in the Serra dos Órgãos region of the Atlantic Forest around Petrópolis and Araras.

Records give about 700–800 m.
