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.
