Tillandsia parryi

Tillandsia parryi is a Mexican endemic of the Sierra Madre Oriental, mostly in Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí and Guanajuato. It grows in pine-oak and fir forest and on scrubby slopes over a wide elevation range, so it is a cool-tolerant, bright-light Tillandsia that expects a dry winter.
