Summary

[edit]
Description This large family of plants includes both terrestrial and epiphytic examples (i.e. growing in the ground or in trees respectively). There are around 3170 species native mainly to subtropical and tropical Americas. In the epiphytic species the vase (leaf rosettes) serves as a reservoir catching water and nutrients, which also provide homes for insects and small animals such as frogs. Jamaican bromeliads are even home to a small crab. Some flower spikes may reach 10m tall while others may only measure 2-3mm across. The pineapple is a well-known member of the Bromeliaceae family.
