Nidularium is a genus of plants in the subfamily Bromelioideae within the family Bromeliad (Bromeliaceae). The genus occurs only in the rainforest areas of eastern Brazil.

Their generic name Nidularium is derived from the Latin words nidus for nest and nidularius for nest-like and refers to the inflorescences nestling in the middle of the cistern , they hardly protrude beyond the leaf funnel. It is a bit confusing that the stem axis of the similar and closely related genus Neoregelia is much more compressed and so Neoregelia species are all much more nesting. With some Nidularium species, the shoot axes are not even compressed and the inflorescence clearly protrudes from the funnel. Usually they have very decorative colored bracts.

description

Illustration of Nidularium innocentii

Nidularium species mainly grow epiphytically as perennial herbaceous plants . Sturdy leaves sit on a compressed stem axis and form funnels in which water is collected. The leaves are lightly reinforced.

The inflorescences often have strongly compressed shoot axes. The three-fold, pentacyclic (five petal circles), hermaphrodite, radial symmetry flowers are often blue or white. The ovary is subordinate.

Flower formula : ${\ displaystyle \ star \; K _ {(3)} \; or \; K_ {3} \; [C _ {(3)} \; A_ {3 + 3}] \; G _ {\ overline {(3) }}}$

There are berries formed.

Systematics and distribution

The genus Nidularium was created in 1854 by the Belgian gardener and botanist Charles Antoine Lemaire in Le Jardin fleuriste; journal général des progrès et des intérêts horticoles et botaniques , Volume 4, Misc. 60, table 411. Type species is Nidularium fulgens Lem. Synonyms for Nidularium Lem. are: Gemellaria Pinell ex Antoine , Aregelia Kuntze , Pseudonidularium Mez , Orthonidularium Mez .

For a long time Nidularium was divided into two sub-genera, since 1998 one of them, Canistropsis , received the status of a genus (example: Canistropsis billbergioides , syn .: Nidularium billbergioides ).

There are over 40 Nidularium species, a full list according to Luther 2008:

There are also in eastern Brazil in the Atlantic Forest generic incurred in nature hybrid from × Niduregelia Leme (2000 published):

× Niduregelia edmundoi (Leme) Leme (Syn .: Nidularium edmundoi Leme )

× Niduregelia lymansmithii (Leme) Leme (Syn .: Nidularium lymansmithii Leme )

Some hybrids between species of the genera Nidularium and Neoregelia have also been produced in culture, for example:

× Niduregelia 'Heart Afire'
× Niduregelia 'Oracle'
× Niduregelia 'Queen Malinche'
× Niduregelia 'Something Special'
× Niduregelia 'Souvenir De Casimir Morobe'
× Niduregelia 'Sunset'
× Niduregelia 'Surprise'
× Niduregelia 'Vision Splendid'

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.
