Often spelled Vriesea, but not so spelled by Lindley, who founded the genus. According to Mez (DC. Monogr. Phaner. 9), 84 species are to be referred to this genus. They are very like tillandsias, with which they are united by Bentham & Hooker and others. The chief technical difference is the presence in Vriesia of 2 ligules or a single cleft or emarginate ligule on the inside of the base of petals. Culturally Vriesias are like tillandsias. They run to forms with marbled and banded leaves. They are tropical Ameri- can stiff-leaved plants, with mostly distichous spikes bearing large and showy bracts. Several species have been introduced in recent years, and many garilen hybrids have been produced. Few kinds; are offered in the American trade, an( only these kinds are described here. Po other kinds, see the monographs of Bake and Mez; also the Kew List of introduction for 187(^1896. Por culture, see Tillandsia. cc.
