Aechmea mulfordii
Aechmea mulfordii (Living Vase Bromelia) is native to the States of Pernambuco and Bahia in eastern Brazil.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 Most of the other plants in this genus are epiphytic, which means that they live up in the branches of the trees and exist mainly on the moisture and nutrients they obtain from the air. However, ''Aechmea mulfordii'' is a large terrestrial plant, growing near the sea level on sand dunes.〔Martinelli, G., Magalhães Vieira, C., Gonzalez, M., Leitman, P., Piratininga, A. Ferreira da Costa, A. & Campostrini Forzza, R. (2008). Bromeliaceae da Mata Atlântica Brasileira: lista de espécies, distribuição e conservação. Rodriguésia; Revista do Instituto de Biologia Vegetal, Jardim Botânico e Estaçao Biologica do Itatiaya 59: 209-258.〕
''Aechmea mulfordii'' has leathery green leaves ligulate or sword-shaped. The leaves may grow to 1 m (3 ft) in length, at times much less, and form a central vase, which, in cultivation, should be kept filled with water. On this species, the primary bract greatly exceeds the lowermost branch. The flower-spikes sent up from the heart or crown of the plant are red panicle with the three outer sepaloid segments longer than the three inner or petaloid ones. Frequently confused with ''A. rubens'' and ''A. emmerichiae'', ''A. mulfordii'' has less dense and elaborate inflorescence than ''A. rubens'' and the long, broad floral bracts conceal the ovary.
==Etymology==
The name of the genus ''Aechmea'' has been given by taxonomists because of the characteristically sharp points of the sepals and of the bracts covering the flower buds. The word ''aechmea'' comes from the Greek word "aichme" which means "spear tip".
