Pseudalcantarea viridiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Bromeliaceae, native to Mexico and Central America (Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua).[1][2] It was first described by Johann Georg Beer (as Platystachys viridiflora) in 1856.[3]

(As of October 2022), the Encyclopaedia of Bromeliads regarded Vriesea billbergiae Lem. and Tillandsia billbergiae (Lem.) Baker as synonyms of Pseudalcantarea viridiflora,[4] whereas Plants of the World Online regarded them as unplaced.[5]
