Bromelioideae

Horticultural variant of Amazonian zebra plant Aechmea chantinii, copyright BotBIn.


Belongs within: Bromeliaceae.

The Bromelioideae are a group of herbaceous, often epiphytic, plants that grow with leaves arranged in water-collecting rosettes. Notable species include the pineapple Ananas comosus, widely grown around the world for its edible 'fruits', formed from the coalesced berries of a compound inflorescence. Over 250 species have been placed in the genus Aechmea, members of which have brilliantly coloured, spike-like inflorescences, but phylogenetic analyses indicate that this genus is polyphyletic (Schulte et al. 2005).
