Taxonomic Notes:
- Treated as a synonym of Guzmania lingulata (L.) Mez
Longitudinal red lines on the leaves or leaf sheaths is a very variable characteristic at least in populations within the Guianas and are not of much use to separate varieties. —See Gouda 1987 p. 21
- Both types are from Jamaica and are variable, must be considered synonym —See Butcher 2010 p. 9
