''Wittrockia'' is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus name is for Veit Bracher Wittrock, Swedish botanist (1839-1914).〔http://www.bsi.org/brom_info/genera.html〕 These plants are native to Central and South America. ''Wittrockia'' is large among bromeliad genera, producing long, glossy leaves armed with sharp spines. Forming rosettes over 1 meter in diameter, the foliage may contain various colors of spots and banding, depending on species. Their inflorescence blooms deep in the vase where the plant catches water. They are adaptable to varying climates and light exposure. Their attractive foliage has made them popular in cultivation. ==Species== * ''Wittrockia cyathiformis'' (Vellozo) Leme * ''Wittrockia gigantea'' (Baker) Leme * ''Wittrockia paulistana'' Leme * ''Wittrockia spiralipetala'' Leme * ''Wittrockia superba'' Lindman * ''Wittrockia tenuisepala'' (Leme) Leme ==External links== *(Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies - Wittrockia Photos ) *(BSI Genera Gallery ) Wittrockia Photos 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wittrockia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
