Abstract:—The herbarium of the Institute of Systematic Botany of the University of Heidelberg (Germany) (HEID) contains a large collection of bromeliads. The scientific research of Prof. Werner Rauh in this plant family resulted in the description of many new species. Hence the type material in the herbarium has grown up to 228 taxa. This type material is described in this paper. Scientific names and their authors, protologue citations and collecting data are given. Supplemental information refers to taxonomic changes.
