description_en: Genus of 7 species of epiphytic or terrestrial, evergreen perennials (bromeliads) from forest in Brazil. The funnel-shaped leaf rosettes comprise strap-shaped, spiny-margined leaves, which are fine-scaly on the undersides. Dense, compound cymes, each consisting of a rounded flowerhead of green, yellowish green to white, yellow, or occasionally blue flowers in a "basket" of large, colourful bracts, are borne in summer. They are followed by spherical, greenish white fruits containing spindle-shaped seeds. In frost-prone climates, grow in a warm conservatory or green-house; in warmer areas, grow outdoors in a moist, shady site.
