Abstract
MARTINEZ-CORREA, Nancy; ESPEJO-SERNA, Adolfo and LOPEZ-FERRARI, Ana Rosa. A new species of Catopsis (Bromeliaceae, Tillandsioideae, Catopsideae) of Mexico. Act. Bot. Mex [online]. 2014, n.106, pp.129-147. ISSN 2448-7589.
Catopsis occulta Mart.-Correa, Espejo & López-Ferr., a new endemic species from the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz in Mexico, is described and illustrated. The new taxon is characterized by dioecious, large plants with usually three times branched inflorescences and yellow-orange floral bracts and sepals. The new species is compared with C. berteroniana (Schult. & Schult. f.) Mez, which is morphologically similar.
