Guzmania morreniana var. tenuifolia H.Luther[as Guzmania morreniana var. tenuifolia Luther]

Diagnose: —A typo G. morrenianae similis sed foliis laminis et bracteis scapis perangustioribus tenuisque differt.

Observations: —The structure and the size of the inflorescence in this variety agree with Guzmania morreniana, a species of wide but sporadic distribution in Ecuador and Peru. The very narrow leaf blades, however, are quite different and additional collections of this variety may show that it deserves specific rank
