Lymania

Lymania (named for Lyman Bradford Smith, American botanist) is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus was established in 1984 to "unite furrowed or winged species from Aechmea subgenera ''Lamprococcus, Araeococcus and Ronnbergia."''.

Lymania is a group of plants endemic to the Bahian coast of the Brazilian rainforest. Modern DNA analysis has confirmed that Lymania is correctly classified as an independent genus containing two distinct clades.
