Tillandsia mixtecorum

Described by Ehlers and Koide in 1998 and named for the Mixtec region of southwestern Mexico. It has no georeferenced wild records. The conditions below use a single highland climate point in the native region and the seasonally dry montane climate typical of the Mixteca, so the confidence is low.
