| Abstract:
This paper includes the study of T. aëranthos (Loisel) L.B. Sm., T. bandensis Baker, T. recurvata (L.) L., and T. usneoides (L.) L., used in popular medicine. These species are found in the east of Argentina, Uruguay and south of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Common names, morphological and anatomical characteristics of the organs with medicinal properties, ethnobotany, illustration, and distribution are given for each species. On the basis of morphological and anatomical characters surveyed, a key to species of Tillandsia studied was elaborated. The key allows distinguishing the species in fragmented or entire samples. | |
