This document presents a checklist of Bromeliaceae species found in Bolivia. It includes 281 total species across 21 genera. Approximately 43% of the species are endemic to Bolivia, particularly in the terrestrial genera Deuterocohnia, Fosterella, and Puya. The three departments with the highest species richness are La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz, which contain varied topography and have been best collected. However, additional surveys are still needed to improve knowledge of the distribution and diversity of Bromeliaceae in Bolivia.
