Abstract:—A new putative natural hybrid bromeliad from southernmost Brazil, Tillandsia 3 baptistana Gonc ̧ alves & Azeve ˆ do-Gonc ̧ alves (Bromeliaceae), is here described. Its habit is very similar to T. mallemontii Glaziou ex Mez, but the floral character- istics are intermediate between the probable parental taxa ( T. recurvata (L.) L. and T. mallemontii ). A key to identify this hybrid and its parents on the basis of the floral characters is also presented.

Keywords:—Brazil, Bromeliaceae, Tillandsia .
