description_en: Genus of over 100 species of rosette-forming, stemless, evergreen, succulent, terrestrial perennials (bromeliads) from South America, found in rocky areas, especially near coasts, and in mountains at altitudes up to 2,000m (6,500ft). They have linear to lance-shaped or short, triangular, spiny-margined, stiff, often grey-scaly leaves, and tubular, sulphur-yellow to orange flowers, produced laterally from the rosettes in racemes or panicles, generally in spring. Many species develop a trunk-like stem, while some are mat-forming. In areas where temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), grow as houseplants or in a temperate or warm greenhouse; in warmer regions, grow in a desert garden.
