A species described from French Guiana. It is a nominal hemiepiphyte with a distinct juvenile phase where the leaves are appressed to the host tree (shingle plant). Adult leaves are entire or perforated but rarely pinnatifid. It is named to honor the botanist who collected the type specimen.
Aechmea bauxilumii is a bromeliad species in the family Bromeliaceae. It produces a rosette of strap-shaped, spiny-margined leaves and bears an inflorescence with colorful bracts and small flowers typical of the genus Aechmea.
Aechmea blumenavii is a bromeliad species in the family Bromeliaceae, native to southern Brazil. It forms a rosette of strap-shaped, serrated leaves and produces an inflorescence with colorful bracts and small flowers. The leaves are typically green with spiny margins.
Endemic to Panama, specifically the Bocas del Toro region. This species typically has entire, oblong-lanceolate leaves and does not usually develop fenestrations. It is a smaller climber compared to the giant Monstera species and is found in wet forest habitats.
A high-elevation species found in the Andean foothills of Bolivia and Peru. It is a vigorous climber with large, leathery leaves that are typically entire or sparsely fenestrated. It is often found growing in cloud forests, making it more tolerant of cooler temperatures than lowland Amazonian species.
A species native to the states of Durango and Sinaloa in the Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico, growing epiphytically in pine-oak forests. Described in 2007. Related species include Tillandsia carloshankii, Tillandsia prodigiosa, and Tillandsia macrochlamys.
Endemic to Puerto Rico. It grows in moist limestone forests and has soft, green leaves, indicating a preference for humid conditions.
Native to Veracruz, Mexico. It forms a tank-type rosette with green leaves that can turn reddish in strong light.
Native to Ecuador, this species is found in moist forests. It has soft leaves that are often spotted or banded with purple.
A tank-type epiphyte native to the northern Andes, often reclassified as Racinaea buseri. It has broad, green leaves and inhabits cloud forests.
A hemiepiphytic climber native to Costa Rica and Panama. The leaf blades are pinnatifid (deeply lobed) and typically lack fenestrations (holes), characterized by a subcoriaceous texture and deeply sunken primary lateral veins, giving the leaf a somewhat quilted or bullate appearance.
A small to medium-sized pseudobulbous green-leaved (mesic) species described by Mez in 1935. The leaves are few, soft, long, and sinuous, emerging from a conspicuously swollen pseudobulbous base. The leaf blades are thin, hard, and involute in the upper portion, characteristically mottled with dark brown or reddish-brown irregular markings on a green background. The inflorescence is a slender spike borne on a thin, erect scape, with bright red bracts and tubular blue-violet to purple flowers. The species is myrmecophytic; in its natural habitat, symbiotic ants nest within the broadened leaf bases of the pseudobulb. It grows as an epiphyte, often forming large colonies in humid montane forests from central Mexico to Panama. A variety with pinkish flowers, var. roseiflora, has been described.
