Bromelia nudicaulis
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 286. 1753
.
"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 2268.
Type not designated.
Original material: [icon] in Plumier in Burman, Pl. Amer.: 51, t. 62. 1756.
Current name:
Aechmea nudicaulis
(L.) Griseb.
(
Bromeliaceae
).
Note:
Smith & Downs (in
Fl. Neotropica
14: 1928. 1979) indicated "
Plumier s.n.
(P), West Indies" as type but it is unclear if such a specimen exists at P and, if it does, it would not have been studied by Linnaeus so would not be original material for the name.
