Neoregelia kerryi is a species of flowering plant in the genus Neoregelia. This species is endemic to Brazil.[1] Its name has also been incorrectly spelt Neoregelia kerryae.[2]
Taxonomy
Neoregelia kerryi was first described by Elton Leme in 1998. The specific epithet kerryi was given as a tribute to Kerry Herndon, former president of a bromeliad nursery in Florida.[3] As Kerry Herndon is a man,[4] the epithet kerryi is correct; kerryae would be for a woman.
