According to "Uncle Derek's Notes" on the FCBS site, the naming of the varieties of Canistropsis billbergioides was discussed in Bromeletter #5 1997. The convention settled on was to avoid latinised names and instead use fruit names, based on the standardised colour of leaves and primary bracts. The 9 fruits listed by FCBS are :-
- APRICOT Primary bract deep yellow orange #12 Leaf green
- BLOOD ORANGE Primary bract reddish orange #24 Leaf green
- CITRON (was citrinum) Primary bract yellow #3 Leaf green
- GUAVA Primary bract rose #38 Leaf green
- LEMON Primary bract light yellow #2 Leaf green
- MULBERRY Primary bract dark orange/mulberry #19 Leaf reddish both sides #28
- PERSIMMON Primary bract orange #18 Leaf green
- TAMARILLO Primary bract orange flushed mulberry #12 Leaf rusty both sides #21
- TUTTI FRUTTI Primary bract orange flushed mulberry #12 Leaf green
