SMITH Department of Botany, U. S. National Museum With 128 illustrations by Robert J. Downs U. S. Department of Agriculture (Publication 4184) CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION SEPTEMBER 7, 1955 V^^^i Both (^affimow (pnee BAliTIMORB, KD., U. S. A. PREFACE This paper, by Dr. Lyman B. Smith, associate curator of the De- partment of Botany, U. S. National Museum, is based on 25 years of study in the United States, Europe, and Brazil. Much of the paper has been derived from an unpublished manuscript prepared for the "Flora Brasilica" of the Instituto de Botanica of Sao Paulo. How- ever, in order to make a more compact work appropriate for the field as well as the herbarium, bibliography has been limited to that strictly essential in Brazil and descriptions have been eliminated in favor of ampler keys. Illustrations are provided in a proportion slightly better than one to every five species but are irregularly apportioned in order to sup- port the key to the best effect and to cover all the 39 new species proposed.

SMITH Department of Botany U. S. National Museum With 128 illustrations by Robert J. Downs V. S. Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION The present paper is written to organize the mass of recent species of Brazilian Bromeliaceae in relation to past works to form a new basis for other branches of biological study. In doing this it takes into account the interest in the discovery and propagation of brome- liads for economic and horticultural purposes and at the same time the necessity for their destruction in limited areas to effect the control of malaria. I am indebted to a great number of people and institu- tions for help in the first instance and to the Serviqo Nacional de Malaria of Brazil and to the Rockefeller Foundation for an under- standing of the public health situation. The Bromeliaceae of Brazil have been covered exhaustively three different times in the last 60 years by their great monographer, Carl Mez.^ His most recent treatment in 1934 and 1935 in the Pflanzen- reich indicated nearly 500 species as native to Brazil, yet since then 135 additional species have been discovered and still continue to ap- pear so rapidly that 39 of them could not be published before the present paper. This proportionately great increase in our knowledge of the group is due to two sources unavailable to Mez—intensive collections since his monograph, and large collections in the herbaria of the United States and Brazil which, for some reason, he failed to see although they mainly predated his work. Since 1935 the collecting of brome- liads by systematic botanists has continued at much the same pace as before and has resulted in additions to the Brazilian flora, but the great increase in information has come from the horticultural side through the intensive collections of Mulford and Racine Foster and i/» Martius, Flora Brasiliensis 3, pt. 3: 173-634. 1891-1894. In De Candolle, Monographiae Phanerogamarum 9: 1-990. 1896. In Engler, Das Pflanzenreich IV. 32 : 1-667. 1934-1935- SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS, VOL. 126, NO. 1 2 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. I26 in public health through the researches of Father Raulino Reitz and Dr. Henrique Pimenta Veloso. The Fosters have traveled widely in search of striking bromeliads but have made their greatest efforts in the rain forest area of extreme eastern Brazil, the home of the great majority of the ornamental species. I gratefully acknowledge that they have not forgotten to collect the lowly "botanicals" or nonglamorous types at the same time. Also they have the rewarding system of collecting sterile plants, which on blooming years later often prove to be species of exceptional interest. While the general collector frequently neglects or ignores bromeliads because of the great difficulty of collecting and preserving them, the Fosters have concentrated on them to the practical exclusion of all other families. As a result more than half of the new species described since 1935 have been based upon their collections. Reitz and Veloso have concentrated their efforts on the bromeliads of Santa Catarina in connection with the campaign undertaken in recent years by the Servigo Nacional de Malaria. Although Reitz has discovered a number of new species, he has made a much more important contribution to our knowledge of the variation and distribu- tion of species already known. In fact, he has changed the status of the bromeliad flora there from the least known in the eastern rain forest to equality with the best. Veloso, using Reitz's taxonomic studies as a base, has given us a detailed picture of the ecology of the Santa Catarina bromeliads (Anais Botanicos do Herbario "Bar- bosa Rodrigues": 187-270. 1952) which has yet to be approached elsewhere. Mez saw the Bromeliaceae in practically all the important European herbaria and from near

  • Beginner's Guide to Bromeliad Names by Derek Butcher May 2015
    Beginner’s Guide to Bromeliad Names by Derek Butcher May 2015 This is a general look at Bromeliad names because, as in life, there are always exceptions to the rule! First let us look at plants found in the wild which Botanists are interested in and which are given two Latin names. One is the genus – or surname and the other is the species name - or given name. Plants have been given these names for some 300 years and there has been duplication and different interpretation which means that various botanists over the years have changed names and also have relegated some names to what we call synonymy. See The New Bromeliad Taxon List at: http://botu07.bio.uu.nl/bcg/taxonList.php This is a list of what I have recorded and the current name is in bold letters. If a botanists name is in brackets it means that he gave the original species name but someone later has changed the genus name. 1 Whenever a new species is named you should have a herbarium specimen or equivalent and a written description. A couple of examples of species: (note the bold black writing in The New Bromeliad Taxon List) Acanthostachys pitcairnioides Acanthostachys strobilacea Jose Donayre 2 Now to a plant you should be familiar with - Aechmea fasciata and how the botanist sees it. You may first see the old names that have been used in the past. But let us concentrate on the bold black. You may have plants with two of the names but what about the other two.

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).

  • BOH: a Unique Chemical for the Induction of Flowering in Bromeliads
    BOH: A Unique Chemical for the Induction of Flowering in Bromeliads Héctor R. Cibes and A. Santiago Nieves1 INTRODUCTION The pineapple family, Bromeliaceae, is composed of stemless herbs native to tropical America whence they have been disseminated to other areas of the world. They have stiff and sometimes spiny leaves. Their flowers are borne in panicles. Perhaps the most important genus of the family is Ananas, to which the commercial pineapple varieties belong. Other members of the family are noted for the fiber obtained from their leaves. Bromelia pinguin L., or wild pineapple, a native of the West Indies, is widely used as a hedge plant and its fruit is also known to contain a proteolytic enzyme. The genus Bromeha was named after the Swedish botanist, Olaf Bromelius. Bromeliads are becoming increasingly important as ornamental plants, both locally and in the United States. Not only the plants themselves are showy, because of their color, shape, and variegation, but also their flowers are beautiful. An important characteristic among bromeliads is that their flowers are long-lasting on the plants. Some will last, attached to the mother plant, for months without losing their beautiful appear­ ance. FLOWER INDUCTION However, flowering is not uniform in this group of plants. For instance, a pineapple field may flower sporadically 10 to 15 times throughout the year, after attaining the proper age. Thus, flower-forcing during a con­ venient time along the growing season is imperative in commercial plant­ ings. This is attainable through the use of suitable concentrations of either calcium carbide (CaC2), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), or /3-hydroxyethyl hydrazine (BOH).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Our study on granitic and gneissic rock outcrops environmental filters (e.g., total or partial absence of soil, on Pedra dos Pontões in Espírito Santo state contributes to low water retention, nutrient scarcity, difficulty in affixing the knowledge of the vascular flora of inselbergs in south- roots, exposure to wind and heat) that allow these areas eastern Brazil. We registered 211 species distributed among to support a highly specialized flora with sometimes high 51 families and 130 genera.

  • 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.
