Tillandsia bartramii, commonly known as Bartram's airplant, [3] is a species of flowering plant in the bromeliad family. It is native to Florida, South Carolina and southern Georgia in the United States as well as Guatemala and Mexico ( Tamaulipas, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Jalisco, San Luis Potosí). [2] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] The name honours William Bartram (1739–1823), an early Florida naturalist. [10]
Description
Plants form clumps 20–40 cm (8–16 inches) in diameter. There are 15–30 gray leaves, which measure 15–40 × 0.2–0.5 cm (6–16 × 0.08–0.20 inches). Inflorescences are 8–15 cm (3.2–6.0 inches) in length, 2–4 mm (0.08–0.16 inches) in diameter, and have 5–20 flowers. Spikes measure 2–4 × 1 cm (0.8–1.6 × 0.4 inches), while floral bracts are 1.4–1.7 cm (0.45–0.68 inches) in length. Fruits measure 2.5–3 cm (1.0–1.2 inches) in diameter. [10]
