bromelia
Spiky jungle plant
Bromelia is a genus of tropical plants native to the Americas, characterized by stiff, spiny leaves arranged in rosettes.
The genus gives its name to the broader bromeliad family, which includes pineapples and Spanish moss.
Most bromeliads collect water in central cups formed by their leaves: The bromelia in the greenhouse had bright red bracts.
