Scientific name

LBSm.

Neoregelia are a genus of plants in the subfamily Bromelioideae , which belongs to the bromeliad family (Bromeliaceae).

description

Neoregelia species grow as perennial herbaceous plants . They are predominantly epiphytic species. Tough leaves sit on a compressed main axis and form funnels in which water is collected. The parallel- veined leaves are lightly reinforced.

The inflorescences have strongly compressed axes and so all the flowers sit in a "head" together in the funnel in the water. The name Nidularium was already used for another bromeliad genus - otherwise nest bromeliads would be a nice name for this genus. The most decorative thing about the Neoregelia are their bracts, they are simply the innermost leaves of the leaf rosettes and usually beautifully red in color for a long time.

The hermaphrodite flowers are threefold. The three petals are mostly blue or white.

The flower formula is: or ${\displaystyle \star \;K_{(3)}\;}$ ${\displaystyle \;K_{3}\;[C_{(3)}\;A_{3+3}]\;G_{\overline {(3)}}}$

There are berries formed.

Systematics

The genus Neoregelia was founded in 1934 by Lyman Bradford Smith in Contr. Gray Herb. , 104, p. 78. The genus is named after the German botanist Eduard August von Regel , but the name Regelia was already documented for a genus of myrtle plants and so it had to be renamed Neoregelia . Type species is Billbergia meyendorffii Rule : Bot. Time. , 15, 713, 1857; Regelia meyendorffii (Regel) Lindm. in Öfvers. Förh. Kongl. Svenska Vetensk.-Akad. 47: 543,1890; Neoregelia carolinae (Beer) LBSm. : Contr. Gray Herb. , 124, 9, 1939.

use

Some species and varieties (there are also varieties with variegated leaves) are grown in specialist nurseries, and so you can find them from time to time in garden centers and flower shops. They are very suitable as indoor plants because they are very easy to care for.
