Tillandsia ramellae W. Till & S. Till is described as a new species. It is separated from the nearest related species, T esseriana Rauh & L.B. Smith, by its larger habit up to 30 cm, by its subtomentose leaf indument, by its much longer inflorescence scape, and by its densely lepidote floral bracts and sepals.
