Abstract :
Whilst researching "Jewels of the Jungle, Bromeliaceae of Ecuador, Part III Tillandsioideae", we had the opportunity to study specimens at the Missouri Botanical Garden (MO) and at the Herbario del Museo de Ciencias Naturales in Quito (QCNE) which have turned out to be three novelties in Racinaea M. A. Spencer & L. B. Sm. The new taxa are described here as Racinaea gentryana Manzanares & W Till, R. goudae Manzanares & W Till, and R. grantii Manzanares & W. Till, all from Ecuador. Key Words: Bromeliaceae, Tillandsioideae, Racinaea, Ecuador.
