Of this genus upwards of a hundred species are enumerated, covering the whole 
range of the Order, from Virginia in the north to Chili and Buenos Ayres. Among 
the Mexican and Central-American specimens at Kew are several very distinct, 
apparently undescribed species; but in most instances the materials are insufficient 
for complete descriptions, so we have thought it better to be content with indicating 
their affinities, especially as many of the described species are imperfectly known. 
1. Tillandsia aloides, Ch. et Schl. in Linnea, vi. p. 55. 
SoutH Mexico, near Jalapa (Schiede & Deppe). 
This is most likely a species of Catopsis. 
2. Tillandsia apicroides, Ch. et Schl. in Linnea, vi. p. 55. 
Sours Mexico, Jalapa (Schiede & Deppe). 
If a specimen in Kew herbarium has been correctly identitied with this species, it is 
the same as Catopsis parviflora; but the specimen does not agree very well with the 
description.
