Abstract:—From Colombia, two new species (Pitcairnia jaramilloi and P. altoatratoensis) and two new varieties (Pitcairnia killipiana var. viridis and P. brachysperma var. snowii) are described. Pitcairnia alversonii of Colombia is reduced to a variety of P. occidentalis. The description of P. luteyniorum is emended and Pitcairnia lepidopetalon is considered to be a close relative of P. luteyniorum. For the first time in Pitcairnia, two species groups (the "maidifolia-complex" and "sprucei-complex") are delimited to include certain species from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
