Cryptanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus name is from the Greek cryptos (hidden) and anthos (flower). The genus formerly had two recognized subgenera: the type subgenus and subgenus Hoplocryptanthus Mez which has been raised to the separate genus Hoplocryptanthus.[2] All species of this genus are endemic to Brazil .[1][3] The common name for any Cryptanthus is "Earth star".[4]

Species

(As of November 2022), Plants of the World Online accepted the following species:[1]


Former species

A major revision of Cryptanthus in 2017 based on both morphological and molecular characters elevated a former subgenus to the genus Hoplocryptanthus and created two new genera, Forzzaea and Rokautskyia, transferring many former Cryptanthus species to these three genera.[5]

Transferred to Forzzaea

  • Cryptanthus leopoldo-horstii Rauh → Forzzaea leopoldo-horstii (Rauh) Leme, S.Heller & Zizka
  • Cryptanthus micrus Louzada, Wand. & Versieux → Forzzaea micra (Louzada, Wand. & Versieux) Leme, S.Heller & Zizka
  • Cryptanthus warasii E.Pereira → Forzzaea warasii (E.Pereira) Leme, S.Heller & Zizka

Transferred to Haplocryptanthus

Transferred to Rokautskyia

  • Cryptanthus caulescens I.Ramírez → Rokautskyia caulescens
  • Cryptanthus exaltatus H.Luther → Rokautskyia exaltata
  • Cryptanthus fernseeoides Leme → Rokautskyia fernseeoides
  • Cryptanthus latifolius Leme → Rokautskyia latifolia
  • Cryptanthus leuzingerae Leme → Rokautskyia leuzingerae
  • Cryptanthus microglazioui I.Ramírez → Rokautskyia microglazioui (I.Ramírez) Leme, S.Heller & Zizka
