Wittmackia (named for L. Wittmack, professor at Berlin). Bromeliaceae. Tall herbs: lvs. with relatively small thorns, never banded: infl. arising from the lf.- rosette, with membranous sheaths, often nodding or hanging, compound panicled with long many-fld, racemose branches: calyx free or slightly adnate, the right side strongly winged: petals free, linear, acuminate, without scales: fr. a dry berry. About 5 species, Cent. and S. Amer. This genus has sometimes been referred to Aechmea; see Billbergia for cult. W. lingulata, Mez. Lvs. about 10 in a rosette, firm, strap-shaped, rounded, shortly cuspidate, about 2 ft. long, 2 1/2 in. wide, spines short, broad-based, about 3 lines apart: scape floccose when young; sheaths lanceolate; panicle pinnately branched: fls. numerous, sessile; sepals white, ovate, bearing an awn nearly 1 line long; petals yellow, ovate from an oblong base; ovary glabrous, rather cylindrical.
