Guzmania (tufted airplant) is a genus of over 120 species of flowering plants in the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Tillandsioideae.

[2] The genus is named after Spanish-Ecuadorian pharmacist and naturalist, Anastasio Guzmán [es].

The best known is Guzmania lingulata (scarlet star) which bears orange and red bracts.

They are epiphytes and can do well if tied on to pieces of bark with roots bound into sphagnum moss.

[citation needed] As of September 2014[update], the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families recognizes 215 species, including hybrids.
