Abstract:—Genera and species of Bromeliaceae that have been described from the Guayana Highland since Flora Neotropica treatments of the subfamilies Pitcairnioideae and Tillandsioideae by Smith and Downs in 1974 and 1977 are distinguished by amended or completely rewritten keys. Of the species, 26 are here described as new, 24 being Pitcairnioideae. Lindmania is resurrected from the synonymy of Cottendorfia, and an error in the validation of Steyerbromelia is corrected

There have been two previous indications of generic difference noted between Lindmania and the Bahian Cottendorfia to which I had reduced it (Smith & Downs, 1974: 212). Robinson (1969: 8) pointed out significant differences in the cell walls of the abaxial epidermis and in the stomata. Recently I verified by specimens the unisexual nature of the flowers in Cottendorfia. Mez (1894, pl. 93) had illustrated it as unisexual although he described the genus as having "Flores hermaphroditi" (p. 502). Finally, I now find that the sepals of Lindmania are convolute with the left side of each overlapping the right of the next one while those of Cottendorfia are cochlear with the anterior sepal overlapping the two posterior ones.
