Taxonomic Change:

• No evidence was found that this variety could be distinguished from the typical variety. Aechmea egleriana seems to be very variable in plant size, coloration and density of the inflorescence, therefore A. egleriana var. major must be considered as a synonym to the type variety. —See Gouda 1999 p. 32
