Tillandsia (English spelling)
It is an evergreen perennial plant of the Bromeliaceae family, with over 400 species distributed in the subtropics and tropical regions of the southern United States and Central and South America.

Recently, many species have been introduced to Japan, and although they are promising as green interior decorations for walls, they are not yet widely used.
