This species rarely grows more than 16cm across and 10 cm tall.  The leaves are polystichous, and the narrowly triangular, involute-subulate blades are recurving and covered with an indumentum of subappressed, cinereous scales.  The scape is erect and slender.  The inflorescence  is copactly bipinnate. It has a delicately fragrant corolla composed of three, pale violet petals with white centres. It is a hardy species and grows well under average tillandsia conditions of bright light, frequent watering, and consistent fertilization during the growing season.
