A purported natural hybrid from Oaxaca, Mexico of Tillandsia tomasellii x fasciculata v. densispica, though such parentage can only be an educated guess but both suggested parents do live together in the area. A large grower with broad, deeply channeled, tapering, silvery leaves. The shape is an open rosette with the leaves growing in a recurved spiral.

The inflorescence is a tall scape, red but made pink by silvery trichomes. The scape bracts are long and leaf-like, blushing reddish towards the top of the rachis. A dozen or more stout branches of pale yellow form a loose cluster well above the foliage. This is a handsome plant with long lasting color.

A large grower with leaves that can reach 3 feet long and 4 inches wide. The leaves are very thick and succulent, almost as thick as the ‘baseball bat’ types. The color is dark green with lighter green mottling throughout and a veneer of grayish-blue that gives the leaves a glaucous look. The leaf margins are light brown and wavy and tips are dry to about an inch back. Grows in a rosette shape when mature. A hardy, easy variety.

Once in the Pseudo-Catopsis subfamily of Tillandsia which was elevated to Racinaea. Native to the arid thorn forests of Ecuador and Northern Peru where colonies of hundreds stand out with their distinctive yellow coloration and most unusual, multi-branched, lace-like, almost white inflorescence. A most unusual species, certainly one of the best of the genus, with easy cultural requirements like that of most Tillandsias; Grow epiphytically or in well drained media in bright shade to nearly full sun and water as needed, once to a few times per week, keep drier in winter.
