Tillandsia × smalliana is a natural hybrid ( T. balbisiana × T. fasciculata ) in the genus Tillandsia. This plant is native to the US state of Florida. [1] [2] [3] Some reports indicate that it may formerly have existed also in Central America, but is now apparently extinct there. [4]

The name is not considered to be validly published because its initial 1985 coinage was not accompanied by a Latin description. [4]
