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). -

Pollinators Drive Floral Evolution in an Atlantic Forest Genus Beatriz Neves1,2, Igor M

Both hummingbirds and bats pollinate the species-rich and morphologically diverse genus Vriesea across its distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Here, we (i) determine if floral traits predict functional groups of pollinators as documented, confirming the pollination syndromes in Vriesea and (ii) test if genetic structure in Vriesea is driven by geography (latitudinal and altitudinal heterogeneity) or ecology (pollination syndromes). -

Received 24 July, 2016; Accepted 26 August, 2016 Sucrose, the most commonly used carbon source in conventional in vitro culture, and limited air exchange in the culture containers are factors that affect the growth of in vitro-cultured plants. They may induce physiological disorders and decrease the survival rate of plants after transfer to ex vitro conditions. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of gas exchange and sucrose concentration on Billbergia zebrina plantlets during in vitro propagation. In vitro-established B. zebrina plantlets were transferred to culture media containing 0, 15, 30, 45, or 60 g L-1 sucrose. Two different culture-container sealing systems were compared: lids with a filter (permitting gas exchange) and lids with no filter (blocking fluent gas exchange). Carbohydrate and chlorophyll (Chl a+b) concentrations were analyzed in plantlets at 45-days of culture. The addition of sucrose to the medium reduced the Chl a+b concentration in the plantlets. -
Catalogue of the Vascular Epiphytic Flora of Uruguay
Acta Botanica Brasilica doi: 10.1590/0102-33062019abb0059 Catalogue of the vascular epiphytic flora of Uruguay Patricia Mai1* , Andrés Rossado2 , José Mauricio Bonifacino2,3 and Jorge Luiz Waechter4 Received: February 21, 2019 Accepted: June 17, 2019 . ABSTRACT We provide an updated list of the vascular epiphytic flora occurring in native environments of Uruguay based on literature review, herbarium specimens, and fieldwork throughout the country. The catalogue provides standardized information for each species, including accepted name, synonyms used within Uruguay, epiphytic category, distribution within the country, habitat, conservation status, observations, and a voucher citation. The effort documented 73 species for the epiphytic flora of Uruguay (3 % of the flora), distributed among 29 genera and 12 families. Bromeliaceae was the richest family (17), followed by Polypodiaceae (16) and Orchidaceae (12). Tillandsia stood out as the most speciose genus with 15 species. Characteristic holoepiphytes was the most diverse ecological category. More than half of the epiphytic species documented for Uruguay (53 %) reach their southernmost geographic distribution in the country, whereas only two mostly epipetric species of Tillandsia — T. arequitae and T. uruguayensis — are endemic to the country. Almost half of the epiphytic species found are presently under categories of threat of extinction, with 60 % of them occurring in national protected areas. Both the richest epiphytic families and the predominance of characteristic holoepiphytes coincide with findings from floristic and ecological studies previously carried out in humid subtropical regions. Keywords: conservation status, epiphytic category, geographic distribution, hemiepiphytes, holoepiphytes, subtropical forests, Uruguay, vascular epiphytes The most recent estimation of vascular epiphytes in the Introduction world reports 27,614 species, distributed in 73 families and 913 genera. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A checklist of the 14 genera and 34 species of Bromeliaceae from the Parque Estadual do Rio Preto in São Gonçalo do Rio Preto municipality, Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil, is presented. The Tillandsioideae was the most diverse subfamily and was found to be concentrated in rocky field areas. Bromelioideae is also a species rich subfamily, but its taxa have shown a preference to forested areas and savannas at lower altitudes. Pitcairnioideae is highlighted by its level of endemism, but has only four species. Cryptanthus micrus, a new species found in this area is described and illustrated. -

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. -
