Published by Hafner Press for the Organization for Flora Neotropica, Monograph 14 in three paper-bound volumes.
I. Pitcairnioideae (1974), II. Tillandsioideae (1977), III. Bromelioideae (1979)
A complete listing of the known bromeliads at that time. It has descriptive text of each species with listing of previous names and many line drawings.
Excellent source of information. The only drawback is that it is dated. There are many new species undescribed in this monograph and there have been many name changes since publication.
