(some almost arbores- cent) with hexamerous and mostly zygomor- phic perianth; sta- mens six, generally from one to five only polliniferous. Order Bromeliaceae. —The Pine-apple Family. Distinguished from the next by the regular flow- ers and six perfect sta- mens. About two hundred species of almost entirely tropical plants constitute this order. But one genus {Tillandsia) 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 sativa, 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. 3G4), the well-known Pine-apples of commerce. Order Scitamineee.—The Banana Family, with zygomorphic perianth, and one to five, very rarely six, perfect stamens.
