  • An Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials
    AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS Created By HARRY E. LUTHER (Edited by Bruce K. Holst) FOURTEENTH EDITION September 2014 Published by the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and the Bromeliad Society International ii INTRODUCTION TO EDITION XIV OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS This edition of the bromeliad binomial list is the first to be published after the passing of it’s creator, Harry E. Luther. The List is one of Harry’s major contributions to the BSI, with the goal of providing a regularly updated, convenient way for both plant socities and indivduals to have a vetted source of accepted plant names and spellings. Harry was aided over the years by Edna Sieff, Fred Lowery, Karen Norton, Larry Rabinowitz, and Larry Swift. As in the past, the current list is of validly published bromeliad taxa and those accepted at the Mulford B. Foster Bromeliad Research Center at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. It contains the following information: 1) Bromeliads by the Numbers 2) Genus and species names. 3) Subspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties, forms) names are indented below the species names. Note: Infraspecies "a" (the type infraspecies) is not listed unless it contains a form (see Aechmea caudata). Similarly, the type form is not listed. 4) Author name(s) follows the specific and subspecific names. These names are included for the convenience of specialist users of the list. This list does not contain publication data or horticultural hybrid and cultivar names. Neither does it include the numbering series derived from L.B. Sm. and R.J. Downs monograph of the Bromeliaceae in Flora Neotropica used in earlier versions of the list.
