description_en: Genus of 3 species of evergreen, terrestrial perennials (bromeliads) found on exposed, coastal rock faces in Chile. They have almost stemless, spreading rosettes of stiff, spiny-toothed leaves. The spherical inflorescences, produced in summer, sit low in the centres of the rosettes and have conspicuous, narrow bracts and tubular, red or yellow flowers; these are followed by ovoid green berries containing large, spherical brown seeds. Where temperatures regularly drop below 5°C (41°F), grow in a cool greenhouse or as houseplants; in warmer climates, use outdoors in a desert garden.
