Neoregelia

Neoregelia concentrica var plutonis

Neoregelia is a genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Bromelioideae, belongs to the family Bromeliaceae ( Bromeliaceae ).

Description

Neoregelia species grow as perennial herbaceous plants. They are mostly epiphytic living species. Derbe leaves sitting on a compressed main axis and form funnel where water is collected. The parallel venation leaves are lightly armored.

The inflorescences have highly compressed axes and so sit all the flowers in a " bowl" together in the funnel in the water. The name Nidularium was already used for another bromeliad genus - Nest bromeliads would otherwise be a nice name for this genus. The most decorative to the Neoregelien are their bracts, they are simply colored the innermost leaves of the rosettes and usually long beautiful red.

The hermaphrodite flowers are triple. The three petals are usually blue or white.

The flowers formula is: or

Are formed berries.

Some species and varieties (there are also varieties with variegated leaves ) are grown in special nurseries and so you can find them from time to time in garden centers and flower shops. They are very well suited as houseplants because they are very easy to maintain.

System

The genus Neoregelia in 1934 by Lyman Bradford Smith in Contr. Gray Herb., 104, pp. 78 drawn up. The genus is named after the German botanist Eduard August von Regel, but the name Regelia was already occupied for a Myrtle family genus and so it had to be renamed Neoregelia. Type species is Billbergia meyendorffii rule: Bot -time, 15, 713, 1857, . Regelia meyendorffii ( usually ) Lindm. in Öfvers. Förh. Kongl.
