Overall, the floral characteristics of this new form lie within the normal size range of the type of Tillandsia bulbosa. But when in bloom, this new form has an unmistakable bright yellow inflorescence and pure white flower. It is a rare occurrence among plants of the type.
The plant grows epiphytically in bright, open forest. In the same area, Tillandsia anceps Lodd. , T. leiboldiana Schltdl, and T. complanata Benth. were observed as epiphytes. —SeeJ. Bromeliad Soc.
