Taxonomic Notes:

• No longer considered this taxon a natural hybrid, but kept the name Vriesea morreniana —See Reitz 1983 p. 36
• Reitz (1983) treated this group as Vriesea x morreniana, but no longer considered it a natural hybrid due to its abundant occurrence and dispersal by seeds in nature. Though he kept the name, he did not adopt the broader concept, which Smith and Downs (1977) suggested for the taxon. —See Costa et al. 2004 p. 36
