Probably only in Australia (SA) 5 or 6 years ago and apparently not yet entered in Species Databases.
Collectors are looking for leaves 90 degree to stem and wavy edge to flowers.
From Len Colgan.... "For those who might not know, this is the plant which Renate sent old Mr Thieken from Germany to Morro do Coco in Brasil to collect (from information she had been given), but he incorrectly brought back a completely different plant from a close location at Morro do Coco. Of course, that plant is now Tillandsia thiekenii."
