Field Notes
Description:
Tillandsias are exotic members of the Bromeliad family. They are found growing in the humid jungles of central and South America, yet are adaptable to a wide range of environments.
Tillandsias absorb water through tiny, sponge-like scales on their leaves. The genus Tillandsia was named by Carolus Linnaeus after the Swedish physician and botanist Dr. Elias Tillandz (originally Tillander) (1640-1693).
Habitat:
Mérida, Venezuela
Notes:
As you can see in the picture, this is a tiny tillandsia surrounded by moss.
