Vegetative characteristics

The Ronnbergia species are epiphytic and terrestrial, evergreen, perennial herbaceous plants . They form stocks through runners. Some species look similar to Neoregelia species.

Thick leaves sit on a compressed stem axis and form funnels in which water is often collected. The simple, parallel-veined, tongue-shaped leaves have smooth to prickly toothed leaf margins. In some species, the leaves are narrowed like a stalk above the leaf sheath. The leaf surfaces are simply green or drawn and have pressed scale hairs on the underside of the leaf.

Generative characteristics

The inflorescence stem is often more or less short, so in some species (for example Ronnbergia nidularioides , Ronnbergia petersii ) the inflorescence does not or only slightly protrudes over the leaf funnel. The bracts are mostly inconspicuous. The simple, spiked inflorescence is dense to loose.

The sessile, pentacyclic (five petal circles), hermaphroditic, radial symmetry flowers are threefold. The three mostly blue petals have no scales at their base. Three carpels have become an under constant ovary grown.

The berries, which are often intensely colored when ripe, contain numerous seeds . A peculiarity occurs with Ronnbergia explodens , which proves its specific epithet right, as its ripe berries detach with a loud bang, i.e. explosively, and the slimy coated seeds spurt out.

The genus Ronnbergia was established in 1874 by Charles Jacques Édouard Morren and Édouard François André in L'illustration horticole , 21, p. 120 with the type species Ronnbergia morreniana Linden & André . The botanical genus name Ronnbergia honors Auguste Ronnberg, Director of Agriculture and Horticulture in the Belgian Ministry of the Interior .

The relationship around the genus Ronnbergia was established by Aguirre-Santoro et al. 2016 and Aguirre-Santoro 2017 and there were significant taxonomic changes with a significantly larger scope of this genus.

The distribution area extends from Costa Rica to Colombia , northern Peru and Brazil .

In 2008 there were around 14 species in the genus Ronnbergia , and around 22 species since 2017:

Ronnbergia aciculosa (Mez & Sodiro) Aguirre-Santoro (Syn .: Aechmea aciculosa Mez & Sodiro ): This new combination took place in 2017. It thrives as an epiphyte in coastal areas in lowland and lower mountain rainforests in Ecuador .
Ronnbergia allenii (LBSm.) Aguirre-Santoro (Syn .: Aechmea allenii L.B.Sm. ): This new combination took place in 2017. It thrives as an epiphyte at altitudes of 900 to 1000 meters in Panama (Cocle, Panama).
Ronnbergia campanulata Gilmartin & H.Luther : a) This terrestrially growing endemic is only known from the type location in the northwestern Cordillera del Cóndor above the Río Zamora . It has not been found since 1972 and the range appears to be very small, although the area is affected by logging. This leads to a classification in the IUCN Red Listas "endangered". b) It thrives epiphytically at altitudes of around 1950 meters only in Morona-Santiago.
Ronnbergia columbiana E. Morren : a) It occurs from Colombia to northern Peru . b) It thrives in the dense rainforest at altitudes of about 270 meters in Peru only in the Amazon department .
Ronnbergia deleonii L.B.Sm. : It occurs in Ecuador and Colombia only in Narino. It thrives as an epiphyte in the undergrowth of moist mountain rainforests at altitudes of 550 to 1150 meters.
Ronnbergia drakeana (André) Aguirre-Santoro (Syn .: Aechmea drakeana André ): This new combination was made in 2017. It thrives as an epiphyte in moist mountain rainforests at altitudes of 600 to 2000 meters in Ecuador and Peru.
Ronnbergia explodens L.B.Sm. : It thrives terrestrially and epiphytically in the lower area of the trunks in the cloud forest at altitudes of 900 to 1450 meters with localities in Panama and in northern Peru.
Ronnbergia fraseri (Baker) Aguirre-Santoro (Syn .: Aechmea fraseri Baker ): This new combination took place in 2017. It thrives terrestrially at altitudes of 1440 to 1500 meters in Ecuador and Peru.
Ronnbergia germinyana (Carriere) Aguirre-Santoro (Syn .: Aechmea germinyana Carriere ): This new combination took place in 2017 .: It thrives terrestrially and epiphytically in moist mountain rainforests at altitudes from 0 to 1740 meters in Panama and Colombia.
Ronnbergia hathewayi L.B.Sm. : It thrives at altitudes of around 800 meters in Costa Rica only in Cartago.

Ronnbergia morreniana Linden & André : It thrives terrestrially in thick layers of deciduous compost at altitudes of around 1050 meters in Colombia.
Ronnbergia nidularioides H.Luther : It thrives in dense, moist forests epiphytically at the bottom of trees or terrestrially in large stands in Colombia and Ecuador .
Ronnbergia petersii L.B.Sm. : This endemic thrives at altitudes of around 760 meters in Panama only in Cerro Jefe.
Ronnbergia subpetiolata (LBSm.) Aguirre-Santoro (Syn .: Aechmea subpetiolata L.B.Sm. ): This new combination took place in 2017. This endemic thrives in moist mountain rainforests at altitudes of 1700 to 1800 meters only in the Colombian department del Cauca .

Ronnbergia veitchii (Baker) Aguirre-Santoro (Syn .: Aechmea veitchii Baker ): This new combination took place in 2017. It thrives in the undergrowth of moist mountain rainforests at altitudes of 800 to 2600 meters from Costa Rica to Panama and Colombia to Peru .
Ronnbergia viridispica (Aguirre-Santoro & Betancur) Aguirre-Santoro (Syn .: Aechmea viridispica Aguirre-Santoro & Betancur ): This new combination took place in 2017. This endemic thrives in moist mountain rainforests at altitudes of 1450 to 1600 meters only in the Colombian Antioquia .
