“…Phylogenetic analyses in Tillandsioideae have focused on overall relationships within the subfamily (Terry et al, 1997;Horres et al, 2000;Crayn et al, 2004;Barfuss et al, 2005Barfuss et al, , 2016 or within individual genera (Chew et al, 2010;Gomes-da-Silva et al, 2012;Versieux et al, 2012;Costa et al, 2015). Based on molecular data, the subfamily has been divided into four lineages, treated as tribes: Catopsideae, Glomeropitcairnieae, Vrieseeae and Tillandsieae (Barfuss et al, 2005(Barfuss et al, , 2016; two new subtribes, Cipuropsidinae and Vrieseinae, have been described within the tribe Vrieseea (Barfuss et al, 2016).…”
