Abstract:—Hohenbergia burle-marxii is one of the rarest species of Hohenbergia (Bromeliaceae), until recently known only by the holotype and its clones. The species had been recorded only once in an imprecise locality in Bahia's south region. After extensive field work we refound the species and we here present a new geographic range of Hohenbergia burle-marxii, at the same time adding information about its morphology and ecological traits, including a map and photographs of living plants.
