Pitcairnia (W. Pitcairn, a London physician). Bromeliaceae. Billbergia-like very short-stemmed perennial herbs or subshrubs.
Leaves in dense rosettes, narrow, often prickly-margined: infl. a central spike or raceme of long-tubular red, yellow or nearly white fls.; fls. perfectj sepals 3, free; petals 3, unguiculate, erect or spreading at the apex, usually with 2 small scales at the base; stamens 6, free, with linear anthers: fr. a 3-valved caps., with numerous seeds.—Mez, the recent monographer of the bromeliads (in DC. Monogr. Phaner. 9), admits 134 species of Pitcairnia. See also Baker in Journ. Bot.
1881. They are American, mostly tropical. In choice collections, various species of pitcairnias may be expected, but very few of them are in the American trade. For pictures of two Mexican species, P. Jaliscana and P. Palmeri (not cult.), see G.F. 1:197 and 211. P. farinosa is an undetermined trade name. For other species, see Puya. For cult, of pitcairnias, follow advice given under Billbergia.
