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. B.M. 7148. G.W. 3, p.
286. R. pitcairniifolia, Benth. & Hook. f. (Fascicularia pit-
cairniifolia, 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. Chile. B.M. 8087.
