Deuterocohnia is a genus of plants in the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Pitcairnioideae, endemic to South America.[1] The genus is named for Ferdinand Julius Cohn, Jewish botanist and bacteriologist.[2]
Plants once described as belonging to the genus Abromeitiella have been reevaluated and reclassified within Deuterocohnia following modern DNA analysis.[3]
