description_en: Genus, closely related to Nidularium, of 7 species of rosetted, stemless, evergreen, terrestrial, epiphytic, or rock-dwelling perennials (bromeliads) from mountain areas, to 900m (3,000ft) high, in Brazil. The linear, spiny-margined, scaly leaves, smooth near the tips, are often wide and colourful. In summer, spikes of tubular, usually blue flowers, with 3 separate sepals and 3 petals joined only at their tips, are produced among clusters of leaf-like bracts within the leaf rosettes. In areas where temperatures drop below 18°C (64°F), grow as houseplants or in a warm greenhouse; in warmer climates, use in a humid, moist border.
