Abstract
We present the first records of five Tillandsia L. species from the state of Bahia, Brazil, which were collected in the field and studied in herbaria. Tillandsia didisticha (E.Morren) Baker occurs in Cerrado and Caatinga biomes, T. linearis Vell. and T. dura Baker in Atlantic Forest fragments, and T. pruinosa Sw. and T. grao-mogolensis Silveira in an ecotonal transition zone between dry and humid forest. We present photographs, taxonomic notes, distribution ranges of these species in Bahia and discuss their morphological distinctions.
