A small species from Mexico and Guatemala, it supposedly has violet flowers in Guatemala and violet or white flowers in Mexico. Grows at around 2000 meters.

A shipment of Mexican plants, floral bract colors range from
deep red to almost yellow.
A shipment from Guatemala, labelled "Tillandsia oaxacana," the plants are larger and coarser than AB608 above,
and have white or violet flowers. The plants vary to the extent that some appear
closer to T. velickiana, and others intermediate between the two species.
Overall they appear more like T. matudae than T. velickiana, so
that's why they are on this page!
