Status: Synonym
Publ: Fam. Bromel. 43 (1856)
Taxonomic Change:
- Comb. nov. in Quesnelia —See Mez 1892 p. 3(3): 383
- Beer (1857) when describing Anoplophytum strobilanthum, he wrote brief notes about the possible identity of a herbarium material collected by Schott, under the name Bromelia blanda. Expressing his doubts regarding this material to be a synonym of Anoplophytum strobilanthum, this author refrained from taking a position for the plant collected by Schott. As no description or print was supplied for Bromelia blanda, this is therefore a name published invalidly, according to International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. —See Vieira 2006 p. 55
