Puya venusta is a species of flowering plant in the family Bromeliaceae.[1] This species is a rare plant[3] endemic to certain areas of Chile including Punta Teatinos and Cerro La Campana. In La Campana National Park, P. venusta is associated with the endangered Chilean Wine Palm, Jubaea chilensis, a palm that prehistorically had a significantly wider distribution.[4]
