Deuterocohnia is a genus of plants in the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Pitcairnioideae, endemic to South America. The genus is named for Ferdinand Julius Cohn, Jewish botanist and bacteriologist. Plants once described as belonging to the genus Abromeitiella have been reevaluated and reclassified within Deuterocohnia following modern DNA analysis.

Catopsis berteroniana , commonly known as the powdery strap airplant or the lantern of the forest, is an epiphytic bromeliad thought to be a possible carnivorous plant, similar to Brocchinia reducta, although the evidence is equivocal. Its native range is from southern Florida to southern Brazil. It generally grows on the unshaded twigs of trees, and has been shown experimentally to trap more insects in its tank than other bromeliads of comparable size. There are several other species in the genus, none of which is believed to be carnivorous.

Glomeropitcarnia is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Tillandsioideae. The genus name is from the Latin “glomero” (to form into a ball) and the genus Pitcairnia. It has two known species, native to Venezuela, Trinidad and the Lesser Antilles.

Neoglaziovia is a genus in the plant family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus is named in honor of Auguste François Marie Glaziou, French landscape designer and bromeliad collector (1833-1906).

Lindmania is a genus of plants in the family Bromeliaceae. It is one of two genera in the subfamily Lindmanioideae, and contains 39 species. All but one of the known species are native to Venezuela, a few occurring in neighboring Guyana and northern Brazil. The genus name is for Carl Axel Magnus Lindman, Swedish botanist (1856–1928).

Aechmea lueddemanniana is a species of flowering plant in the family Bromeliaceae. It is native to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua and southern Mexico as far north as Veracruz. The plant is widely cultivated as an ornamental.

Tillandsia albida is a plant species in the genus Tillandsia. This species is endemic to Mexico.

Persea liebmannii is a species of flowering plant in the family Lauraceae. It is a tree native to Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.

Ocotea aciphylla is a species of Ocotea in the plant family Lauraceae. It forms a tree 12–18 m tall. It has small hermaphrodite flowers of 3–4 mm long. It is found in the Amazon River basin mostly to 1200 m.

Guzmania monostachia is an epiphytic species in the genus Guzmania. Also known as a West Indian tufted airplant, this species is native to South America (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela), Central America, the West Indies and Florida. The species is also reportedly naturalized in Hawaii. Guzmania monostachia is notable as it is a facultative CAM species, converting from C3 photosynthesis to CAM under high light treatment or drought stress as a protective measure.

Guzmania lingulata, the droophead tufted airplant or scarlet star, is a species of flowering plant in the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Tillandsioideae. This evergreen epiphytic perennial is native to rainforest habitats in Central America, northern and central South America and southern Mexico. The Latin word lingulata means "tongue-shaped". The foliage grows in a star-shaped basal rosette culminating in an orange and red bracted inflorescence. It is among the most commonly cultivated bromeliad types, with cultivars producing flowers in shades of maroon, red, orange, yellow or pink.

Aechmea triticina is a plant species in the genus Aechmea. This species is endemic to eastern Brazil, known from the States of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro.

Aechmea tomentosa is a plant species in the genus Aechmea. This species is endemic to eastern Brazil, known from the States of Alagoas and Pernambuco.

Aechmea serrata is a plant species in the genus Aechmea. It was reportedly originally from Martinique in the West Indies, but now extinct in the wild. It does survive as a cultivated ornamental.

Aechmea filicaulis is a species of flowering plant in the family Bromeliaceae. This species is endemic to Venezuela.

Tillandsia butzii is a species of flowering plant in the genus Tillandsia. This species is native to Costa Rica and Mexico.

Tillandsia bergeri is a species of plant in the genus Tillandsia. This species is native to Brazil.

Puya × berteroniana is a natural hybrid in the genus Puya, between the species Puya alpestris subsp. zoellneri and Puya venusta. This natural hybrid is endemic to central Chile, where it is very rare. A revision of the Chilean species of Puya found that it is likely a hybrid, given its rarity and intermediate characteristics between several species. Additionally, the name Puya berteroniana has been widely misapplied to plants of one of its parental species, Puya alpestris. The plant is a rarely branching plant to 4.5 m (15 ft) in height with long, slender leaves with spined margins. The

Portea petropolitana is a plant species of the genus Portea, in the family Bromeliaceae.

Mezilaurus itauba is a species of tree in the family Lauraceae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, and Suriname.

Brocchinia micrantha is a South American species of plant, in the genus Brocchinia, of the bromeliad family (Bromeliaceae). This species is native to Venezuela and Guyana. In Venezuela, these plants may be found within Canaima National Park, near to Salto Ángel (Angel Falls), the world’s tallest free-falling waterfall. In Guyana, this plant is commonly found at Kaieteur National Park. As Brocchinia are a member of the bromeliad family, the funnel-like structure of their leaves will fill with rainwater periodically, thus serving as a shelter and habitat for a variety of vertebrates,

Amblyanthopsis is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Primulaceae. Its native range is Himalaya to Assam, Philippines. Species: Amblyanthopsis bhotanica (C.B.Clarke) Mez Amblyanthopsis burmanica Y.H.Tan & H.B.Ding Amblyanthopsis membranacea (Wall. ex A.DC.) Mez Amblyanthopsis philippinensis Mez
