Tillandsia fasciculata, commonly known as the giant airplant, [4] giant wild pine, or cardinal airplant, [5] is a species of bromeliad that is native to Central America, Mexico, the West Indies, northern South America ( Venezuela, Colombia, Suriname, French Guiana, northern Brazil), and the southeastern United States ( Georgia and Florida). [3] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Within the United States, this airplant is at risk of extirpation from the Mexican bromeliad weevil, Metamasius callizona. A related plant, Tillandsia utriculata, sometimes called the "wild pine", is endemic to the same areas.
