Type of tropical herbaceous plants of thick leaves that collect the rainwater in the central basin and develop on trees in the jungle, named so in honor of the Swedish botanist Olof Bromelius of 17TH-century. This genus belongs to the species Ananas comosus-pineapple-producing and the Aechmea magdalenae fiber-producing, the pita. Bromeliads are often used as ornamental plants in the interior of the houses by its adaptability to different habitats.
