description_en: Genus of nearly 200 species of rosette-forming, often rhizomatous, mostly epiphytic, evergreen perennials (bromeliads), mainly from rainforest in S. Mexico, Central America, South America, and the West Indies. Their arching leaves are narrowly strap-shaped to triangular. Terminal, simple or compound, spike-like inflorescences with long-lasting, brightly coloured, tubular flowers and triangular bracts arc produced in summer, and are often followed by persistent, fleshy, colourful fruits. Where temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F), grow in a warm greenhouse or as houseplants; in warmer areas, grow epiphytically in a moist site.
