Cryptanthus undulatus Otto & A.Dietr.
Status: nomen illeg., published as substitute for Tillandsia acaulis Lindley
Publ: Allg. Gartenz. 4: 299 (1836)
Taxonomic Change:
- Cryptanthus undulatus was the new name Otto and A. Dietrich created for Tillandsia acaulis Lindley, which was illegitimate because of the citation of Tillandsia acaulis as the basonym. (The latin diagnostic description of C. undulatus unfortunately fits many species in the genus) —See Ramirez 1996 p. 233
