Tillandsia serrata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 286. 1753.

"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 2273.

Lectotype (Howard, Fl. Lesser Antilles 3: 406. 1979): [icon] " Tillandsia foliis superne dentato-spinosis" in Plumier in Burman, Pl. Amer.: 63, t. 75, f. 1. 1756.

Current name: Aechmea serrata (L.) Mez ( Bromeliaceae).

Note: Smith & Downs (in Fl. Neotropica 14: 1901. 1979) treated an unpublished Plumier drawing at P as the type, but this was not studied by Linnaeus and is not original material for the name.
