Tillandsia loxichaensis

Tillandsia loxichaensis is an obscure epiphytic bromeliad endemic to Oaxaca in southwestern Mexico. Its name points to the Loxicha area of the Sierra Sur. There are no wild GBIF records; the single climate site has mild, bright days, cold nights and a long, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte in the pine-oak and montane forest of the Sierra Sur de Oaxaca around the Loxicha area. No habitat notes for this species were found.

No elevation is recorded. The climate site suggests a cool upland at roughly 1,500–2,000 m, but this is an inference.
