We here propose Aechmea subintegerrima as a new combination for Ronnbergia brasiliensis, a taxon belonging to the Aechmea lingulata complex. Additionally, we describe and illustrate 14 new Bromeliaceae species from the Brazilian states of Bahia, Espirito Santo, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro: Aechmea aiuruocensis, A. altocaririensis, A. limai, A. recurvipetala, Dyckia kranziana, Hohenbergia loredanoana, Neoregelia dactyloflammans, N. retrorsa, Orthophytum rafaelii, Vriesea minutiflora, V. nubicola, V. pulchra, V. santaleopoldinensis, and V. serranegrensis. The morphological affinities of the new taxa are also discussed.
