Abstract:—During a five-week journey through central and south Bolivia in 1982 with Dr. Helmut Hromadnik (Kritzendorf, Austria) and Erich Haugg (Muhldorf, German Federal Republic) we collected a long-stemmed tillandsia growing on rocks that at first glance we thought to be a remarkable form of the widespread Tillandsia xthioides Ker-Gawler. When the plant flowered in our greenhouses it became evident that we had discovered a novelty, which is presented here and described as a new species.
