(some almost arbores- cent) with hexamerous and mostly zygomor- phic perianth; sta- mens six, generally from one to five only polliniferous. Order Bromeliacese. âThe Pine-apple Family. Distinguished from the next by the regular fluw- ers and six perfect sta- mens. About two hundred species of almost entirely tropical plants constitute this order. But one genus {Tillandda) is represented in the Southern United States ; of the eight or ten native species, the Long Moss (T. usneoides) of the Southern Atlantic coast is the best known. It is used in upholstery and in the manufacture of mat- tresses. Ananassa satma, the Pine-apple, supposed to be a native of Brazil, is now cultivated throughout the world. In cool climates it is grown in hot-houses, and it is said that these are much better than those grown out of doors in warm climates. The fleshy fruits are aggregated into solid cone-like masses (Fig. 364), the well-known Pine-apples of commerce. Order Scitaminese.âThe Banana Family, with zygomorphic perianth, and one to five, very rarely six, perfect stamens. Three sub-orders are well marked. \\ \.
