Taxonomic Comments
Tillandsia simulata is sometimes considered a synonym of T. bartramii (e.g. Smith and Downs 1977; Kartesz 1994, 1999), but Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2000), Wunderlin (1998), and Weakley (2023) consider them distinct species, with T. simulata being a Florida endemic, and T. bartramii ranging from Georgia through Florida to Mexico (Tamaulipas).
