Taxonomy:—Tillandsia dorotheae x Probably of hybrid origin (H .Luther pers . comm.). W.Till (pers. comm. ) suggests that the parents may be T. albertiana Vervoorst and T. argentina C.H . Wright. (p.18).—Tillandsia gutteana Treated as a synonym of T.macbrideana var. major Rauh (p.Kiff (1991 p.32)).—Tillandsia mandonii Treated as a synonym of Tillandsia myosura Grisebach ex Baker (p.68).—Tillandsia parvispica Resurrected from synonymy of Tillandsia polystachia (L.) L. (p.178).—Tillandsia pfisteri W.Till (pers.comm.) regards this taxon as synonymous with T.parvispica Baker, which was merged with T.polystachia (Linnaeus) Linnaeus by Smith & Downs 1977 (p.39).
