BROMELIAD LISTS of HYBRIDS by Derek Butcher 10/2008 in 1977 We Saw the First Attempt at a Listing of Man-Made Hybrids in the Tillandsioideae (L B Smith 1977) BROMELIAD LISTS OF HYBRIDS by Derek Butcher 10/2008 In 1977 we saw the first attempt at a listing of man-made hybrids in the Tillandsioideae (L B Smith 1977). While Dutrie (see Bulletin Horticole, Liege, Belgium) wrote widely on this subject in 1946-1948 there is no definitive list and rarely did he give full reference to previous publications. The same applies to Chevalier who wrote in a similar vein in Monographie des Bromeliacees - Tillandsiees, and there is sometimes conflicting evidence when Dutrie and Chevalier are compared. In L B Smith's lists there is a predominance of European hybrids produced from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century. These listings of references are valuable to the researcher because many of the hybrids are still in circulation to this day. Some regrettably are wrongly named and only by referring back to these original descriptions can we find the correct answer. Remember, this was 27 years after the formation of the Bromeliad Society in America where in 1951 there was the proud boast "Much more hybridising can and will be done" Much hybridising was done but very few records were kept and nobody thought about controls. It was left to Lyman Smith to collate records for future reference. It was not until 1979 that the Bromeliad Society produced its first Check-list of hybrids entitled 'International Checklist of Bromeliad Hybrids' The year 1979 also saw the final volume of the Flora Neotropica monograph published. Here, more recent references to names of hybrids are listed. It can be clearly seen that billbergias were popular in Europe in the late 19th century and it was not until the 1960's that neoregelias started appearing in ever increasing numbers. Lyman Smith has left the hybridist with tangible evidence of past work. It is up to the Bromeliad Society International to continue on with this work and encourage a more scientific approach to hybridisation and the keeping of records. The production of a second edition of a world check list is a step in the right direction. This is entitled "The Bromeliad Cultivar Registry" (BCR) compiled by Don A. Beadle June 1998. This is now held in electronic form on the BSI web site in Cultivar Corner. It is updated monthly. In the early 1980’s Brian Smith of Texas went on his own crusade in listing names of plants including those sold by Nurserymen, mainly in Florida, and the last list produced was in 1984 which follows. Such an enterprise will never be attempted in the future. In 1987 Brian became the BSI Registrar but only stayed a short time because in 1990 he advised me that Don Beadle (who had taken over the reins) was at least getting some cooperation from American hybridists. The ‘Manuscript’ shows the great use of formulae to identify the plant and as we know this only identifies the parents IF they have been correctly identified, and no foreign pollen was involved. AND on the other hand there are those who name and do not divulge parentage. Oh, for the middle road! Regrettably Bromeliads are very easy to hybridise and everyone seems to have the same attitude as that expressed in 1951. What should be asked is “Is your hybridising really necessary?” It is a pity that an unregistered plant can be sold for the same price as a registered one which tends to remove an incentive to register. 2009-03-28 1 of 122 MANUSCRIPT OF BROMELIAD HYBRIDS AND CULTIVARS COMPILED BY BRIAN SMITH 3035 MONTEGO PLANO TEXAS 75023 This manuscript is not to be reproduced or distributed without the written permission of the author.

While researching nursery lists it was found that many nurseries were putting their own names on unnamed plants developed by other hybridizers such as Oeser. As one nurseryman put it " a named plant sells better than an unnamed plant". It was found that many plants listed in catalogs as hybrids are really cultivars and should be listed as such but are not. For example: Neo. Cherry Smash is really a cultivar of Neo. carolinae Meyendorffii. Therefore all names that I know are cultivars are listed as such. The format of this manuscript is as follows: WINDERMERE (Hendrix,1983,(M)1980/(R)Hill,1983) Green Apple x Fireball (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) (G) (A) - Name of hybrid or cultivar (B) - Hybridizer (C) - Date plant flowered (D) - Date cross was made (E) - Registrar of plant if different from hybridizer (F) - Date of registration (G) - Cross, not necessarly in seed parent first order This manuscript is cross-referenced, lists all synonyms, and is in alphabetical order for ease of reference. Updates will be attempted twice a year. A page inserted at the front will show what genera and the number of lines changed from the previous edition. There will be a slight fee for obtaining the updates but if interested in this service, write the author. I would like to hear opinions on the listing. To keep the list current, any new information is appreciated. I encourage people to send me plant lists and lists of their own private collections so that new items may be added. This was an endeavour of love as well as need. I hope you find it beneficial to you. 2009-03-28 4 of 122 ABROMEITIELLA DIVIERSCHREI AECHMEA ALTMANII ALVAREZ lueddemanniana cultivar AMAZONICA chantinii cultivar ANGELICA ANGRA DOS REIS angustifolia x chantinii (Deleon) ANONYMOUS ANTON ---- aquilega..x Portea petropolitana ---- araneosa x distichantha (Yamamoto) ---- araneosa x weilbachii (Yamamoto) ARES (Gulz) fulgens discolor x distichantha glaziovii ARMED SPEARPOINT.-PIPIN (Hummel) ARRIBA (Hummel) dealbata x ASH BLONDE chantinii cultivar ATON (Gulz) syn. fasciata Silver King AUSLESE fasciata cultivar AZTEC (Hummel) AZUR NIGRA (Hummel) BALBOA bromeliifolia cultivar BASTANTHA (Hummel) BELIZIA (Hummel) BENNY (Hummel) recurvata x BERT (Foster,1946) orlandiana x fosteriana x chantinii x nudicaulis - Berticaulis BERT F2 BERTICAULIS (Williams,1972,M1969) nudicaulis x Bert BI-COLOR (Hummel) BIG CHEESE (Hummel) BIG MAMA recurvata cultivar BIG STUFF (Hummel) BILL BARRETT (Hummel) BILL HOBBS syn.

  • General Information Bromeliaceae Family
    General Information Bromeliads are a unique and fascinating family of hundreds of extremely diversified and exotic plants, which are amazingly adaptable, tough and relatively easy to grow. People often say that Bromeliads thrive on neglect. The species can tolerate a huge variety of growing conditions including heat, light, air and moisture. No Bromeliads are native to Australia and therefore have all been imported and introduced here. The plants are native to the Southern States of the USA, Central America and deep into South America, with regions like Florida, Mexico, the West Indies, parts of Brazil and as far south as Chile having many and various species. One very primitive species is also found in Africa and has survived since the two continents separated. Bromeliaceae Family The entire bromeliad family called Bromeliaceae, is divided into three subfamilies containing many genera, with the Bromelioideae and Tillandsioideae subfamilies being the most popular bromeliads for enthusiasts and collectors. The subfamily Bromelioideae is distributed from Mexico to Argentina and has the greatest number of genera. They are mostly epiphytic, tank-type plants with spiny leaves and berry-like fruit containing wet seeds. The subfamily Pitcairnioideae are the most primitive bromeliads, descended from the grass family. Nearly all are terrestrial. Most have spiny leaves. The seeds are dry and usually winged. The subfamily Tillandsioideae has few genera, but includes about half of the species of bromeliads. Growing throughout the Americas, they are mostly epiphytes. All have spineless leaves. Seeds are dry, with feathery "parachutes" and are blown and float in the wind. The most notable and commercially developed of the family is the edible pineapple (Ananus comosus).

As bromélias são plantas de característica marcante devido a disposição de suas folhas permitindo o acúmulo de água entre as mesmas, criando verdadeiros ecossistemas sobre a planta e permitindo o abrigo e desenvolvimento de diversos invertebrados, uma diversidade que muitas vezes passa despercebida. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a importância das bromélias como mantenedoras de biodiversidade no Parque Natural Municipal Rio do Peixe, localizado no município de Joaçaba, centro-oeste de Santa Catarina, sul do Brasil (27º10’22”S, 51º30’33”W). O Parque Natural está localizado em área de ecótono florestal, caracterizando-se por uma transição entre Floresta Estacional Semidecidual e Floresta Ombrófila Mista. O estudo foi conduzido durante o período de janeiro de 2009 a janeiro de 2010. Ao longo do período de amostragem foram encontrados aproximadamente 168 invertebrados nos fitotelmatos das 48 bromélias coletadas, dentre os quais as ordens mais abundantes foram Hymenoptera (46 exemplares) e Coleoptera (36 exemplares).

In this study, we aimed to determine the factors influencing nest site selection during nest relocation which is regularly promoted by hurricanes in this area. Using ants with and without previous experience of Ae. bracteata, we tested their preference for refuges consisting of Ae. bracteata leaves over two other bromeliads, Ae. bromeliifolia and Ananas comosus. We further evaluated bromeliad-associated traits that could influence nest site selection (form and size). Workers with and without previous contact with Ae. bracteata significantly preferred this species over others, suggesting the existence of an innate attraction to this bromeliad. However, preference was not influenced by previous contact with Ae. bracteata. Workers easily discriminated between shelters of Ae. bracteata and A.

  • An Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials
    AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS Compiled by HARRY E. LUTHER The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Sarasota, Florida, USA ELEVENTH EDITION Published by the Bromeliad Society International June 2008 ii INTRODUCTION TO EDITION XI This list is presented as a spelling guide for validly published taxa accepted at the Bromeliad Identification Center. The list contains the following information: 1) Genus number (the left-hand number) based on the systematic sequence published in the Smith & Downs monograph: Bromeliaceae (Flora Neotropica, number 14, parts 1-3; 1974, 1977, 1979). Whole numbers are as published in the monograph. 2) Species number (the second number) according to its systematic position in the monograph. Note: Taxa not included in the monograph or that have been reclassified have been assigned numbers to reflect their systematic position within the Smith & Downs framework (e.g., taxon 14.1 is related to taxon 14). The utility of this method is that one may assume for example that Tillandsia comarapaensis (150.2) is related to T. didisticha (150) and therefore may have certain horticultural qualities in common with that species. 3) Genus and species names follow the respective numbers. 4) Subspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties, forms) names are indented below the species names. Note: Variety "a" (the type variety) is not listed unless it contains a form (see Aechmea caudata ). Similarly, the type form is not listed. 5) Author name follows the specific and subspecific names. These names are included for the convenience of specialist users of the list. This list does not contain publication data or synonymy, as it is not our intent for it to be a technical nomenclatural guide.

  • VARIEGATION in BROMELIADS (By Luiz Felipe Nevares De Carvalho)
    VARIEGATION IN BROMELIADS (by Luiz Felipe Nevares de Carvalho) Editorial comment (Bob Reilly) Reprinted, with permission of the Bromeliad Society International, from the Journal of The Bromeliad Society, 2000, volume 50 (4), pp. 182-185. Variegated bromeliads are often keenly sought after by collectors. In this article, the author discusses the causes and types of variegation, as well as the propagation of variegated bromeliads. Note that the process of naming a particular variegated plant can sometimes be more complex than might be inferred from the article. Variegation is a rather common phenomenon in the plant kingdom, and is found in many plant families. It is especially pronounced in Bromeliaceae. The word “variegata” comes from Latin – variegatuus, variegata, variegatum – meaning variable coloration with patches of different colors. A bromeliad is known as “variegata” when it has two or more different colors. Over 60% of cultivated bromeliads have bands, dots, lines, and streaks, and can therefore be considered variegated. However, the term is accepted in horticulture, when applied to bromeliads that have lines, streaks and longitudinal bands of contrasting colors, especially those that show differences in pigmentation between the green chlorophyll-containing tissues and albino tissues. On the other hand, if we look at the many bromeliads that grow in the wild, it appears that variegation is a rare phenomenon. As a general rule, patently variegated plants are less hardy and slower growing than normal, and those that arise spontaneously in nature normally survive the competition for space and light only when man intervenes, taking them from the wild for cultivation. Variegation is rarely found in the subfamily Pitcairnioideae, and is not particularly common in Tillandsioideae.

The program material is made available by the Bromeliad Society International to affiliated societies from their Media Library. You will note the meeting will not be on our regular first-Tuesday-of-the-month night but one night later, on a Wednesday. This is done to accommodate Ray’s schedule and availability. Specific details on how to join the Zoom meeting will be provided in an email to members. MEETING HIGHLIGHTS The meeting last month was conducted via Zoom on Wednesday, March 3, 2021, and members of the Sarasota Bromeliad Society joined us. The speaker was Guillermo Rivera with a talk titled Bromeliads from Central Brazil: A Journey through the States of Minas Gerais and Bahia. His presentation drew on information and experiences he gathered from botanical tours he has led in Brazil as owner/operator of Plant Expeditions, a botanical touring company. His tour destinations have included South America, Mexico, South Africa, Madagascar, and Namibia, with emphasis on bromeliads, orchids, cacti, and other succulents. His trips also incorporate cultural features of the areas visited. Guillermo Rivera In his presentation Guillermo took us on a ‘visual tour’, a 2,600-mile journey first through the state of Minas Gerais, then north into the state of Bahia, both located in central- southeastern Brazil (pictures below).
