Werauhia is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Tillandsioideae. The genus is named for Werner Rauh, a German botanist (1913–2000).[1] Based on molecular evidence, a number of species previously classified within other bromeliad genera, especially Vriesea and Tillandsia, have been placed in Werauhia instead. Species in this genus are distributed across tropical regions in the Americas.[2]
