description_en: Genus of over 120 species of virtually stemless, evergreen, mainly epiphytic perennials (bromeliads), found in the USA (S. Florida), Central America, the West Indies, and N. and W. South America. They occur mainly in the Andean rainforest, to 3,500m (11,500ft) high. The lance-shaped leaves form funnel-shaped rosettes, above or within which flowerheads of tubular, white or yellow flowers, usually surrounded by colourful floral bracts, are borne on conspicuous, yellow, orange, or bright red stems, in summer. Where temperatures drop below 15°C (59°F), grow in a warm greenhouse or as houseplants. In warmer areas, grow in shady, humid, moist areas of the garden.
