Tillandsia cereicola and hitchcockiana are frequently confused, but they do have a distinct difference. Tillandsia cereicola produces its pups stoloniferously (off of a stem) whereas Tillandsia hitchcockiana produces pups directly from the base. They have similar features otherwise so unless there are pups it can be tough to tell what you have!
