Abstract:—Aechmea xinguana, a new species of Bromeliaceae from the Brazilian Amazonia, is described and illustrated. It is related to Aechmea mertensii, but differs by inflorescences with larger and more lax panicles, and by floral bracts that are red, larger than the flowers, with a linear shape and spinose margins.
