Rhodostachys (Greek, rose and flower-spike, alluding to the rose-colored fls. of some species). Bro- meliaceae. Herbs suitable for the warmhouse : lvs. rosu- late, long, linear, rather stiff and spinulose-serrate : heads terminal, sessile within an involucre of numerous floral lvs.; fls. subsessile on a hemispherical or short-conical receptacle; sepals erect and strongly imbricated; petals free, imbricated; stamens free; ovary inferior. About 6 or 7 species, S. Amer. R. andina, Phil., is a low subacaulescent plant: lvs. linear, about 1 ft. long and 1 in. broad, aculeate-margined, glabrous: spike almost globose with scarious bracts about equaling the fls.; fls., rose; calyx-lobe lanceolate, strongly acuminate ; petals nearly 1 in. long, linear-lanceolate, strongly acuminate. Chile. R. pitcairniifolia, Benth. & Hook. f. (Fascicularia pitcairniifolia, Mez). Sts. short, with some short branches at the top: lvs. many, crowded, ensiform from an ovate triangular base, about 1 ft. long and 1 in. wide, margins with short antrorse spines; the innermost lvs. bright red at their base : fls. in a dense central, sessile head, about 2 in. diam.; sepals narrowly lanceolate-acuminate; petals blue, oblong, obtuse, erect; ovary oblong, plano-convex.
