    Bromeliads Bromeliads Are a Family of Plants (Bromeliaceae, the Pineapple Family) Native to Tropical North and South America

    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 19 March 2012 Bromeliads Bromeliads are a family of plants (Bromeliaceae, the pineapple family) native to tropical North and South America. Europeans fi rst found out about bromeliads on Columbus’ second trip to the New World in 1493, where the pineapple (Ananas sp.) was being cultivated by the Carib tribe in the West Indies. The commercial pineapple (Ananas comosus) is native to southern Brazil and Paraguay. After the colonization of the New World it was rapidly transported to all areas of the tropics, and now is widely grown in tropical and sub- tropical areas. The only A collection of bromeliads placed on a tree at Costa Flores, Costa Rica. bromeliad to occur north of the tropics is Spanish “moss” (Tillandsia usneoides). It is neither Spanish nor a moss, but an epiphytic bromeliad. It doesn’t look much like a typical Commercial pineapple, Ananas comosus, bromeliad, though, with its long scaly stems and reduced in the fi eld. fl owers. Bromeliads are monocots, many of which, like their grass relatives, have a special form of photosynthesis that uses a variation of the more usual biochemical pathways to allow them to use water more effi ciently. Even though they come from the tropics, this helps those that are epiphytes contend with life in the treetops where there is limited water and a real danger of drying out. There are about 2500 species Many bromeliads are tropical and several thousand hybrids epiphytes. and cultivars. Many have brightly colored leaves, fl owers or fruit, and range in size from moss-like species of Tillandsia to the enormous Puya raimondii from the Andes which produces a fl owering stem up to 15 feet tall.

    Water Relations of Bromeliaceae in Their Evolutionary Context

With 2 figures Think tank: water relations of Bromeliaceae in their evolutionary context JAMIE MALES* Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EA, UK Received 31 July 2015; revised 28 February 2016; accepted for publication 1 March 2016 Water relations represent a pivotal nexus in plant biology due to the multiplicity of functions affected by water status. Hydraulic properties of plant parts are therefore likely to be relevant to evolutionary trends in many taxa. Bromeliaceae encompass a wealth of morphological, physiological and ecological variations and the geographical and bioclimatic range of the family is also extensive. The diversification of bromeliad lineages is known to be correlated with the origins of a suite of key innovations, many of which relate directly or indirectly to water relations. However, little information is known regarding the role of change in morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits in the evolutionary origins of the classical ecophysiological functional types in Bromeliaceae or how this role relates to the diversification of specific lineages. In this paper, I present a synthesis of the current knowledge on bromeliad water relations and a qualitative model of the evolution of relevant traits in the context of the functional types. I use this model to introduce a manifesto for a new research programme on the integrative biology and evolution of bromeliad water-use strategies. The need for a wide-ranging survey of morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits across Bromeliaceae is stressed, as this would provide extensive insight into structure– function relationships of relevance to the evolutionary history of bromeliads and, more generally, to the evolutionary physiology of flowering plants.

    Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

    Anatomy of the Floral Scape of Bromeliaceae1 SUZANA LÚCIA PROENÇA2,3 and MARIA DAS GRAÇAS SAJO2

    Revista Brasil. Bot., V.31, n.3, p.399-408, jul.-set. 2008 Anatomy of the floral scape of Bromeliaceae1 SUZANA LÚCIA PROENÇA2,3 and MARIA DAS GRAÇAS SAJO2 (received: July 04, 2007; accepted: June 05, 2008) ABSTRACT – (Anatomy of the floral scape of Bromeliaceae). This paper describes the anatomy of the floral scape for 12 species of Bromeliaceae, belonging to the subfamilies Bromelioideae, Tillandsioideae and Pitcairnioideae. Although all the scapes have a similar organization, there are variations in the structure of the epidermis, cortex and vascular cylinder. Such variations are described for the studied scapes and, when considered together they can help to identify the species. These aspects are described for each scape and discussed under a taxonomic point of view. Key words - anatomy, Bromeliaceae, floral scape RESUMO – (Anatomia do escapo floral de Bromeliaceae). Este trabalho descreve a anatomia do escapo floral de doze espécies de Bromeliaceae pertencentes às subfamílias Bromelioideae, Tillandsioideae e Pitcairnioideae e tem como objetivo ampliar o conhecimento anatômico da família e desse órgão em particular. Embora todos os escapos apresentem uma organização similar, observam-se variações na estrutura da epiderme, do córtex e do cilindro vascular. Tais variações são descritas para os escapos estudados e, quando são analisadas em conjunto, podem auxiliar na identificação das espécies. Esses aspectos são descritos para cada um dos escapos e discutidos dentro de um contexto taxonômico. Palavras-chave - anatomia, Bromeliaceae, escapo floral Introduction There are few studies on the floral scape anatomy of Bromeliaceae, the more important is Tomlinson’s revision Bromeliaceae comprises about 2,600 Neotropical (1969) of the results of Mez (1896 apud Tomlinson 1969), species, except for Pitcairnia feliciana (A.

    Aechmea Information Compiled by Theresa M

    Aechmea Information compiled by Theresa M. Bert, Ph.D. (corresponding author) and Harry E. Luther, Director, Mulford B. Foster Bromeliad Identification Center (last update: January 2005) Welcome to the Aechmea species list. All taxonomic entities for the genus Aechmea listed in Luther (2004) & new species & taxonomic revisions since that publication up to September 2004 are included here. The information provided for each taxon is summarized from the references & citations provided at the end of the list. In the table, the citations are denoted by superscripted numbers. This information is not all-inclusive of everything that is known about each species, but much information is included. We did not include information on citings during personal expeditions unless they were documented in the literature & also provided unique information on the biology, ecology, or taxonomy of the species. Nor did we include information on cultivation. This is a dynamic table. As authoritative information becomes available, we will update this table. We also invite input. If you know of a well-documented fact about a species in this list, please provide the corresponding author with the information & the literature citation in which that information appears. (We reserve the right to accept or deny inclusion of any information provided to us.) We also welcome your thoughts on the type of information that should be included in this list. Blank fields denote no information is available. All currently recognized taxonomic entities of each species are listed, including subspecies, varieties, & forms. When the lower taxonomic level of these plants is the same as the species, only the species name is given (e.g., Aechmea distichantha var.
