Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Guzmania(A. Guzmann, Spanish naturalist). Bromeliaceae. Includes Caraguata and Massangea. Tropical American bromeliads, of which several are fairly well known ornamental glasshouse subjects.

They closely resemble the erect-growing tillandsias, but differ in technical characters: fls. in a simple spike- like terminal cluster, tubular, the outer segms. or calyx oblong and obtuse, the inner or petals shorter than the tube; anthers inserted on the throat of the tube, and united by their edges around the style. — About 75 species. Grown in the warmhouse, along with Bill- bergia and Tillandsia, which see for culture. Closely allied to AEchmea. Many species are cult, in fanciers' collections in the Old World. For G. picta, see Nidularium. For G. legrelliana, see Hohenbergia. G. rosea, a name which has appeared in the American trade, is probably an AEchmea.
