A species described in 2004 from Laginha, Espirito Santo, Brazil by Elton Leme.  Related to Orthophytum vagans, it has a long stem that can reach 8 to 18 inches long with branches forming adventitiously or from the base of the inflorescence. 

The inflorescence forms a dense cluster of branches with long, leaf-like primary bracts.  There is a slight reddish blush of the foliage near the inflorescence at anthesis.  The foliage is stiff, narrowly triangular, tapering to a point, silvery with trichomes and armed with mall spines.  In nature it is found as a lithophyte or on rocky ground in full sun or slightly protected by deciduous forest. 

Very rare in cultivation.  In the collection of the Marie Selby Botanical Garden with the accession code of SEL 2009-0095.

A natural hybrid of (ehlersiana x streptophylla) from Chiapas, Mexico. There are those that believe that T. ehlersiana is itself a hybrid, so it is not surprising that it would hybridize with other plants sharing the same habitat. This plant looks like an ehlersiana in general aspect, a fat-bottomed beauty with wider, contorted, deeply channeled leaves, silvery all over with a more open, pretty pink inflorescence. 

We first got this plant from a friend under formula, before the name ‘Nugget’ was given and registered. This is a cultivar of crocata x duratii by Barry Genn, both species highly fragrant but the hybrid of the two barely so. That said, it’s beautiful!

Our plant originally was quite small and ‘wimpy’ with few leaves and kind of scrawny looking. Under the care of Veronica our Tillandsia grower, it has become a much larger, robust plant with a nicely branching inflorescence and curling, silvery leaves.

The flower color is buttercup yellow, kind of surprising with the normally dominant duratii in the mix, but all better for it. We have found that if kept well fed and in good light and air circulation, the plant is vigorous and will produce offsets. Different and attractive.
