Jagrantia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Bromeliaceae.[1] It only contains one species, Jagrantia monstrum (Mez) Barfuss & W.Till[2]

Its native range is south-eastern Nicaragua to northern Ecuador. It is found in the countries of Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Panama.[2]

The genus name of Jagrantia is in honour of Jason Randall Grant (b. 1969), an American botanist in Neuchâtel, Switzerland and specialist in Bromeliaceae.[3] The Latin specific epithet of monstrum refers to monstrum meaning "a malfunctioning of nature". The word monster is derived from this term.[4] It was first described and published in Phytotaxa Vol.279 on pages 51-52 in 2016.[2]
