distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of about 20 species of mostly stemless, evergreen, mainly dwarf, terrestrial perennials (bromeliads) found in soil or on rocks in dry, forest regions, at altitudes up to 1,600m (5,000ft), in E. Brazil. The strap- to spoon-shaped, wavy-margined, sometimes attractively zoned leaves are borne in flat, star-like rosettes. In some species, offsets form in the leaf axils; others produce them from stolons. In summer, inconspicuous, star-shaped, often scented, white or greenish white, occasionally pale yellow flowers are produced in sunken, corymb-like inflorescences at the centre of each rosette. Where temperatures fall below 15-20°C (59-68°F), grow in a warm greenhouse, as houseplants, or in a bottle garden; in humid, tropical areas, grow in a bed or border.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow seed at 27°C (81°F) as soon as ripe. Remove offsets in early summer.
