This is to be read in conjunction with Binomials 2000 which only gives a snapshot view of species currently accepted by the BSI Identification Center as of May 2000. The following is (we hope) a list of movement of names since the Monograph by Smith and Downs in Flora Neotropica. Unresolved changes are included with suitable comment. These suggested changes had been made in validly published proposals but have as yet been ‘ignored’ by the BSIIC without written reason or rebuttal.

Grey leaved Vrieseas are difficult to place but in Phytologia (August 1993) 75 (2): 170 - 175 Jason Grant proposed changes from Vriesea to Tillandsia in a review of Tillandsioideae prompted by the fact that petal appendages had been proved to be of diagnostic use only at species level not generic. There are already at least two Tillandsias namely T. engleriana and T.myriantha that comfortably sit in sub-genus Allardtia but have petal appendages!
Proposed changes were andreetae, boeghii, curvispica, drewii, limonensis, olmosana and var pachamamae, penduliscapa, strobelii, and tillandioides, with V. sagastegui to T peruviana, V.cylindrica to T. porphyrocraspeda, V.rauhii to T werneriana, and V. koideae to T. yaconorensis. These changes have not yet been acknowledged by the BSIIC
