Tillandsia bulbosa, the bulbous airplant,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the genus Tillandsia. It is widespread across Central America, the West Indies, southern Mexico (Chiapas, Tabasco, Veracruz, Yucatán Peninsula), and northern and eastern South America (Venezuela, Colombia, the Guianas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Alagoas, Amapá, Pernambuco).[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] According to Emsley, this tank bromeliad's leaves are joined at the top so that the plant can be turned upside down without losing water.[10]
