	~~__NOTOC__{{Plantbox~~		'''Spanish moss''' (''Tillandsia usneoides'') is a [[flowering plant]] that grows upon larger [[tree]]s, commonly the Southern Live Oak (''[[Quercus virginiana]]'') or Bald Cypress (''[[Taxodium distichum]]'') in the [[southeastern United States]].
	~~\| latin_name =~~ ''Tillandsia usneoides''
	~~\| common_names = Spanish moss~~		Spanish moss closely resembles its [[Specific name\|namesake]] (''[[Usnea]]'', or beard lichen), but in fact it is not biologically related to either [[moss]]es or [[lichen]]s. Instead, it is an [[angiosperm]] in the family [[Bromeliaceae]] (the bromeliads) that grows hanging from tree branches in full sun or partial shade. Formerly this plant has been placed in the genera ''Anoplophytum'', ''Caraguata'', and ''Renealmia''.<ref>[http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/genus.pl?12153 Genus: Tillandsia L.], GRIN Taxonomy for Plants, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture.</ref> It ranges from the [[southeastern United States]] (southern [[Virginia]] and eastern [[Maryland]]) to [[Argentina]], growing wherever the [[climate]] is warm enough and has a relatively high average [[humidity]].
	~~\| growth_habit = ? <!---~~ tree, ~~shrub, herbaceous, vine, etc -->~~
	~~\| high = ? <!--- 1m~~ (~~3 ft~~) ~~-->~~		The plant consists of a slender stem bearing alternate thin, curved or curly, heavily scaled [[leaf\|leaves]] {{convert\|2\|–\|6\|cm\|in\|abbr=on}} long and {{convert\|1\|mm\|in\|abbr=on}} broad, that grow vegetatively in chain-like fashion (pendant) to form hanging structures up to {{convert\|6\|m\|in\|abbr=on}}<ref>http://www.floridata.com/ref/T/till_usn.cfm</ref> in length. The plant has no [[aerial root]]s <ref>http://www.floridata.com/ref/T/till_usn.cfm</ref>and its [[flower]]s are tiny and inconspicuous. It propagates both by [[seed]] and [[Vegetative reproduction\|vegetatively]] by fragments that blow on the wind and stick to tree limbs, or are carried by [[bird]]s as nesting material.
	~~\| wide = <!--- 65cm~~ (~~25 inches~~) ~~-->~~
	\| ~~origin = ? <!--- Mexico~~, ~~S America~~, ~~S Europe, garden, etc -->~~		Spanish moss is an [[epiphyte]] (a plant that lives upon other plants; from [[Greek language\|Greek]] "epi"=upon "phyte"=plant), which absorbs [[nutrient]]s (especially [[calcium]]) and [[water]] from the air and [[rain]]fall. Spanish moss is colloquially known as "air plant".
