Often spelled Krwsea, but not so spelled by Lindley, who founded the genus. According to Mez (DC. Mouogr. Phaner. 9), 84 species are to be referred to this genus. They are very lilie 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 eniarginate 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 garden hybrids have been produced. Few kinds are offered in the American trade, and only these kinds are described here. For other kinds, see the monographs of Baker and Mez; also the Kew List of introductions for 187G-1896. For culture, see Tillandsia. A. Stamens longer tlian the petals. B. fnflorescence branched.
