Aechmea prasinata G. Sousa & Wand., a new species from southeast Brazil, is described and illustrated. The species belongs to the subg. Chevaliera and shows morphological similarities with Aechmea hostilis E. Pereira and Aechmea gustavoi J. A. Siqueira & Leme, in the short‐peduncled and capituliform inflorescence, but differs in the oval to oblong floral bracts, the acuminate sepals and the green colour of all perianth structures.
