Description en: Genus of 2 or 3 species of low, mound-forming, terrestrial, evergreen perennials (bromeliads) occurring in dry, rocky sites in the Andes of Bolivia and Argentina. They form large mats or cushions of numerous small, dense rosettes of triangular, succulent, greyish green leaves, with spiny margins and tips. Short-branched inflorescences, made up of groups of 3 greenish yellow or green flowers with twisted petals, develop from the centres of the rosettes in summer, and are followed by dull, greyish green berries. Where temperatures fall below 5°C (41°F), grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse, or as houseplants; in warmer areas, they are excellent for a border.

Hardiness en: Frost tender.

Cultivation en:

Propagation en: Sow seed at 27°C (81°F) in spring. Detach and root rosettes in spring and summer.
