Puya berteroniana is a species in the genus Puya. This species is endemic to Chile.[1]

A revision of Puya found that it is likely a hybrid, given its rarity and intermediate characteristics between several species. Additionally, the name Puya berteroniana has been widely misapplied to plants of a different species, Puya alpestris.[1]
