PREFACE This paper, by Dr. Lyman B. Smith, associate curator of the De- partment of Botany, U. S. National Museum, is based on 25 years of study in the United States, Europe, and Brazil. Much of the paper has been derived from an unpublished manuscript prepared for the “Flora Brasilica” of the Instituto de Botanica of Sao Paulo. How- ever, in order to make a more compact work appropriate for the field as well as the herbarium, bibliography has been limited to that strictly essential in Brazil and descriptions have been eliminated in favor of ampler keys. Illustrations are provided in a proportion slightly better than one to every five species but are irregularly apportioned in order to sup- port the key to the best effect and to cover all the 39 new species proposed.

SMITH Department of Botany U. S. National Museum With 128 illustrations by Rosert J. Downs U. S. Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION The present paper is written to organize the mass of recent species of Brazilian Bromeliaceae in relation to past works to form a new basis for other branches of biological study. In doing this it takes into account the interest in the discovery and propagation of brome- liads for economic and horticultural purposes and at the same time the necessity for their destruction in limited areas to effect the control of malaria. I am indebted to a great number of people and institu- tions for help in the first instance and to the Servico Nacional de Malaria of Brazil and to the Rockefeller Foundation for an under- standing of the public health situation. The Bromeliaceae of Brazil have been covered exhaustively three different times in the last 60 years by their great monographer, Carl Mez.t His most recent treatment in 1934 and 1935 in the Pflanzen- reich indicated nearly 500 species as native to Brazil, yet since then 135 additional species have been discovered and still continue to ap- pear so rapidly that 39 of them could not be published before the present paper. This proportionately great increase in our knowledge of the group is due to two sources unavailable to Mez—intensive collections since his monograph, and large collections in the herbaria of the United States and Brazil which, for some reason, he failed to see although they mainly predated his work. Since 1935 the collecting of brome- liads by systematic botanists has continued at much the same pace as before and has resulted in additions to the Brazilian flora, but the great increase in information has come from the horticultural side through the intensive collections of Mulford and Racine Foster and 1 Jn Martius, Flora Brasiliensis 3, pt. 3: 173-634. 1891-1804. In De Candolle, Monographiae Phanerogamarum 9: I-990. 1896. Jn Engler, Das Pflanzenreich IV. 32: 1-667. 1934-1935. SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS, VOL. 126, NO. 1 2 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 126 in public health through the researches of Father Raulino Reitz and Dr. Henrique Pimenta Veloso. The Fosters have traveled widely in search of striking bromeliads but have made their greatest efforts in the rain forest area of extreme eastern Brazil, the home of the great majority of the ornamental species. I gratefully acknowledge that they have not forgotten to collect the lowly “botanicals” or nonglamorous types at the same time. Also they have the rewarding system of collecting sterile plants, which on blooming years later often prove to be species of exceptional interest. While the general collector frequently neglects or ignores bromeliads because of the great difficulty of collecting and preserving them, the Fosters have concentrated on them to the practical exclusion of all other families. As a result more than half of the new species described since 1935 have been based upon their collections. Reitz and Veloso have concentrated their efforts on the bromeliads of Santa Catarina in connection with the campaign undertaken in recent years by the Servico Nacional de Malaria. Although Reitz has discovered a number of new species, he has made a much more important contribution to our knowledge of the variation and distribu- tion of species already known. In fact, he has changed the status of the bromeliad flora there from the least known in the eastern rain forest to equality with the best. Veloso, using Reitz’s taxonomic studies as a base, has given us a detailed picture of the ecology of the Santa Catarina bromeliads (Anais Botanicos do Herbario “Bar- bosa Rodrigues”: 187-270. 1952) which has yet to be approached elsewhere. Mez saw the Bromeliaceae in practically all the important European herbaria and from near chaos erected a detailed and logical system. However, he noted little from this side of the Atlantic beyond citing my early papers, and, as these dealt chiefly with non-Brazilian brome- liads, he missed not only most of the novelties but also the rich distri- butional data in United States and Brazilian herbaria. For the past 25 years, thanks to Dr. F. C. Hoehne, former director of the Instituto de Botanica in S40 Paulo, I have enjoyed every advantage of its ample herbarium, from a constant supply of speci- mens to lavish facilities for publishing and illustrating the results of my studies. Nor should I forget the field experience gained at Alto da Serra and Moysés Kuhlmann’s original technique for collecting epiphytes. To Dr. P. Campos Porto, director of the Jardim Botanico do Rio de Janeiro, I am indebted not only for the opportunity to study in the garden and herbarium but also for the hospitality that enabled me NO. I BROMELIACEAE OF BRAZIL—SMITH s to collect in the two great national parks administered by the Jardim, Itatiaia and Serra dos Orgaos. Dra. Heloisa Alberto Torres, director of the Museu Nacional, not only provided me with every facility in the herbarium but also ar- ranged for a rapid series of field trips in Rio and Minas with the help of the whole department of botany under the leadership of Dr. F, Segadas Vianna. Here I should explain that owing to the number of people on these trips I was obliged to abbreviate the citation of collections to “Smith & Mus R,” indicating that the number was mine but the expedition a joint enterprise. Dr. Alexandre Curt Brade, both when at the Museu and later at the Jardim, has helped me exceedingly with specimens and with his © detailed knowledge of botanical history and geography. I have studied with Father Raulino Reitz in his Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues” while enjoying the hospitality of the Seminario at Azam- buja, Brusque, and have collected widely with him in eastern Santa Catarina. As my citations will indicate, I have received help by brief meet- ings and by correspondence with a number of other Brazilian bota- nists. Among these are Dr. Felisberto Camargo, former director of the Instituto Agronédmico do Norte and authority on the pineapple ; Dr. J. Mure¢a Pires, head of the department of botany of the same; Dr. A. Ducke, famous explorer of the Amazon; Father Bento Pickel, formerly of the Instituto das Pesquizas Agronomicas, Pernambuco, and his successor, Dr. Dardano A. Lima; Dr. Joao José Seabra of the Faculdade de Filosofia da Bahia; Dr. Amaro Macedo of Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais; Dr. Carlos Stellfeld, Director of the Museu Paranaense; Dr. Guenter Tessmann and Dr. Gert Hatschbach of Curitiba, Parana; the late Father Eugenio Leite ; and Father B. Rambo, director of the Herbario Anchieta and authority on the flora of Rio Grande do Sul. Finally, there remain a host of Brazilians too numerous to mention whose help in the herbarium and in the field is warmly remembered.

Whenever it seems significant, I have cited personally unverified collections and followed them with the name of the person responsible for the record. Thus there are a number of collections in European herbaria that are cited on the authority of Mez in order to give the full distributional data for the species. One instance in particular NO; \E BROMELIACEAE OF BRAZIL—-SMITH 5 needs comment, Mez’s list of Bromeliaceae in Luetzelburg, Estudo Botanico do Nordeste 3:104. 1923. This greatly increases our knowledge of the distribution of species in arid northeastern Brazil, yet curiously enough Mez seems to have forgotten it in his final mono- graph in the Pflanzenreich. My other large source of data is Reitz, who has kept me constantly informed as he adds to the flora of Santa Catarina. In a few instances pictures, not specimens, must be cited as types of species. This is particularly the case in Baker’s species described from the unpublished Icones of E. Morren. These are at Kew and in some cases can be identified with specimens at Liége, but Baker saw only the pictures. Since duplicate collections of Bromeliaceae are relatively rare and since the important herbaria as regards the family have been covered, there seems little point in listing exsiccatae. Instead, the numbers of photographic negatives on file in the Chicago Natural History Mu- seum, the Gray Herbarium, and the United States National Museum are noted whenever they are likely to be helpful in establishing the identity of a species. GEOGRAPHICAL CITATIONS The citation of localities in Brazil is extremely difficult for a num- ber of reasons. First of all, many of the early collectors did not bother to record localities or their data were lost, with the result that “Brazil” is all we have left. Next, some of the older settlements have ceased to exist and frequently places have changed their names. Who now recognizes Sao Sebastiandpolis as Rio de Janeiro or Desterro as Florianopolis? If it were not for Urban’s great study of collectors in the introductory volume of “Flora Brasiliensis,” the case would be hopeless. More recently there is the difficulty of changes in spelling and place names by government action. Xapecd becomes Chapeco, retaining the pronunciation but bewildering the reader. In its “Index to Map of Hispanic America 1: 1,000,000” (p. 402), the American Geo- graphical Society explains the latest Brazilian orthography and its listings cover the majority of localities involved in this paper. However, since the publication of this index in 1945, there has been a new reform to eliminate duplication of names, not just within a state but for the whole country. Thus, where Bom Jests could occur as the name for a dozen localities in one state, there must now be but one place with that name in all Brazil. This has been accom- 6 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 126 plished by giving the unadorned name to the locality with the best title to it, and modifying the name or completely changing it for the others. The words “do Norte” are added to the northernmost locality of that name and so on for the points of the compass, others are compounded with the name of the river or mountains which they adjoin. On the other hand, one state capital goes from Paraiba to Joao Pessoa without a backward glance. Ultimately this latest reform should clarify Brazilian geography greatly, but at the moment it is an additional confusion to one dealing for the most part with the older names for localities. The recent practice of dividing the states into municipios helps with the identification of many localities, and the Tabuas Itinerarias Brasileiras (Servico Grafico do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica-1950) is a very useful index to the municipios. I have also been fortunate in obtaining the latest maps for a few states, notably Parana and Santa Catarina. When all other resources have been used, I have appealed to the collectors and they have helped me with their own localities and often with those of past botanists. Dr. E. Asplund of the Riksmuseet, Stockholm, has been most helpful in finding the localities of Swedish botanists in Brazil. In order to save anyone the work of identifying these localities again, on page 259 I have listed those which are not explained in the “Index to Map of Hispanic America 1 : 1,000,000.” In citing localities in the text, the sequence is from the vague to the definite. First come the collections of which we know only that their origin was Brazilian, next come those that are located only as to state, followed by those with named localities within the state, and, finally, by those that are further defined by a municipio. Locality names which are defined only as far as the state are cited in the text in parentheses, indicating that it has not been possible to plot them on the map. DISTRIBUTION AND ORIGIN The map on page 7 (from Goode’s series) shows the approximate position of all bromeliad localities in Brazil that it has been possible to identify. The observation that range maps represent where collec- tors have been rather than where plants are, is peculiarly apt in this case because of the difficulty of collecting and preserving bromeliads. Undoubtedly this situation accounts for the marked breaks in repre- sentation in eastern Brazil around the Baia—Espirito Santo boundary and around that between Sao Paulo and Parana. NO. I BROMELIACEAE OF BRAZIL—SMITH | Yet the even more obvious contrast shown between eastern Brazil and the remainder of the country is actually much greater than it is possible to indicate. In preparing the map, it was frequently the case 30 a ee ee See YS Discovery of bromeliad malaria Santa Cotorina area of bromeliad malaria Distribution of Bromeliaceae in Brazil that in the east each spot represented several localities too near to each other to be distinguished, while each locality generally included a number of species. Elsewhere the spots usually represent a single locality and very often a single species. From the map, representation in much of Minas Gerais compares with that about Rio de Janeiro, but the single spot which covers the 8 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 126 Distrito Federal represents dozens of localities, nearly a hundred species, and great quantities of individuals, while one spot in Minas indicates a single locality as a rule and that with few species and individuals. Great general collectors who have operated in the east and also in the interior give further evidence along this line, as shown by a com- parison of A. Glaziou’s collections in the state of Rio de Janeiro and in Goias, or those of F. C. Hoehne in Sao Paulo and Mato Grosso. In each case the collections in the east are more numerous, as might be expected from the greater amount of time spent there, but they are also significantly richer in species both totally and in relation to the remainder of the flora. Such collectors in the Amazon basin as A. Ducke, R. L. Froes, B. A. Krukoff, J. G. Kuhlmann, R. E. Schultes, and R. Spruce afford us almost no direct contrast with the bromeliads of the east, but the family is a very insignificant part of their well rounded general collections. Finally, we have the evidence of collectors who were interested in bromeliads almost exclusively. Dr. J. L. Collins, who traveled ex- tensively investigating the origin of the pineapple, has told me how driving westward in Pernambuco he saw bromeliads in profusion and then abruptly could find none. The following from the unpub- lished report by K. F. Baker and J. L. Collins of exploration in 1938 and 1939 gives the details: On the return trip from Candado we had opportunity to determine more closely the exact point at which the Bromeliaceae stopped in the westward distribution. A short distance east of Salgadinho we suddenly came to the end of the Sertao and passed into the curimataii and with this change immediately passed from a situation of almost no Bromeliads to their supplying one of the dominant elements of the flora. The Fosters in their journey to Mato Grosso repeatedly found formations that they had learned to associate with bromeliads in the east completely lacking in these plants. Concerning the origin of the Brazilian bromeliads there seems little reason to alter the general conclusions reached in my “Geographical Evidence on the Lines of Evolution in the Bromeliaceae” (Bot. Jahrb. 66: 446-468. 1934). Using the generally accepted morphological cri- teria, the Brazilian bromeliads are characterized as derived rather than primitive types. The Bromelioideae, with its consistently in- ferior ovary and indehiscent fruit, is easily the most advanced of the three subfamilies and has its chief center in eastern Brazil with a number of endemic genera. All this would indicate that the family had arisen in western South America and migrated into Brazil. NO. I BROMELIACEAE OF BRAZIL—SMITH 9 It can be argued that structurally Encholirium and Cottendorfia are as primitive as Puya, but they are now widely separated from it geographically and the distribution of the other genera indicates an origin from an ancestral type close to Puya. Encholirium and Cotten- dorfia may have entered Brazil on the divide between the Amazon and Paraguay basins, but so long ago that no good evidence remains. The advanced genera, Dyckia and Deuterocohnia, however, clearly indicate this origin from western Bolivia. The other advanced genera, Navia and Brocchinia, barely cross the northern boundary of Brazil. Navia, at first considered primitive on account of its naked seeds, is now evidently advanced as occasional vestiges of wing prove this condition to be the result of reduction. The subfamily Tillandsioideae shows evidences of at least three routes of invasion and also a strong reverse movement in the case of Vriesia, its largest genus in Brazil. Tillandsia, the most primitive genus of the subfamily, shows the height of land as the most probable route for its most primitive subgenus, Allardtia, as well as for Pseudo- Catopsis and Phytarrhiza. Anoplophytum very likely evolved in Brazil and spread westward like the genus Vriesia. The subgenus Diaphoranthema of Tillandsia seems to have invaded from the south, while a few species of the subgenus Tillandsia (formerly Platy- stachys) and of the genus Catopsis have obviously moved down the coast from the West Indies. Judged from the extreme concentration of species and genera in eastern Brazil, the subfamily Bromelioideae must have evolved there. Such genera as Cryptanthus and Nidularium are endemic in the area, and such large and widespread genera as Aechmea and Billbergia have species ranges that almost seem to explode from that point. ECONOMIC ASPECTS The pineapple, Ananas comosus, is the one bromeliad of outstand- ing economic importance. It probably evolved in interior Brazil (see Baker & Collins in American Journal of Botany 26: 697), but like so many other economic species it has found its greatest development far from its homeland. In fact the leading center of research on the pineapple is in Hawaii, as might be expected in connection with some three-quarters of the world’s export trade in this fruit. In Brazil, although it does not figure as an export, the pineapple is widely grown and appreciated. It also produces a superior fiber but this has not found much use because of the difficulties of preparation. Io SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 126 Research in Brazil has been principally taxonomic as can be seen by the references to F. C. Camargo in the text. The caroa, Neoglaziovia variegata, also produces an excellent fiber which is much used within Brazil. The species is native in the arid northeast where it grows without cultivation on areas too poor for most other commercial crops. For a detailed study see ““O Caroa” by Lauro P. Xavier.® Spanish moss, Tillandsia usneoides, apparently does not grow so prolifically anywhere in Brazil as it does in the southeastern United States, nor does it appear to have been systematically exploited for filler material for cushions and mattresses as has been done here. HORTICULTURE Interest in bromeliads as ornamentals is much more recent than in the pineapple, yet it dates back well over a century. In England the cultivation of the still popular Brazilian Billbergia pyramidalis was noted under another name in the Botanical Magazine in 1815 and accompanied by a colored plate. Billbergia amoena appeared similarly in Loddiges Botanical Cabinet in 1818 and B. zebrina in 1827, and Aechmea fasciata in the Botanical Register in 1828. The cultivation of Bromelia antiacantha was noted by Bertolini in Italy in 1824. By 1857 many species were in cultivation in Berlin as evi- denced by the numerous citations in Beer’s “Die Familie der Brome- liaceen,” the first comprehensive treatment of the group. Between 1865 and 1885 there was great interest in the family in Belgium centering around Liége where Edouard Morren published many new species with elaborate colored plates in his Belgique Horticole. Also notable for work in horticultural species in the last half of the 19th century were C. Koch in Germany, Regel in Russia, Antoine in Austria, and Lemaire, Linden, and André in France. It is note- worthy that the great majority of ornamental species described in this early period as well as later were of Brazilian origin. The more recent monographers, Baker and Mez, concerned themselves less with horticulture, but fell heirs to the work left unfinished by Morren’s untimely death, and published a considerable number of ornamentals nonetheless. Horticultural activity in bromeliads developed late in the United States, although, according to Mulford Foster (Plant Life 1:71. 8 Ministério da Agricultura, Departamento Nacional da Producio Vegetal, Divisto de Fomento da Producio Vegetal, Seccio de Fomento Agricola, Paraiba. NO. I BROMELIACEAE OF BRAZIL—SMITH II 1945), nurserymen were listing species for sale before the turn of the century. Now cultivation has developed here to the extent of sup- porting the Bromeliad Society, organized in 1950. In Brazil, Glaziou was bringing live bromeliads to the imperial gardens in Rio, now the gardens of the Museu Nacional, as early as 1868. Today there are also notable collections at the Jardim Bo- tanico in Rio and at the Instituto de Botanica in Sao Paulo. Beyond all comparison or possibility of estimate, however, is the private inter- est in bromeliads. Given a people with a deep appreciation of the colorful, and plants with vivid inflorescences that last for weeks or leaves with highly ornamental markings, the resulting interest is a foregone conclusion. Masses of cut flowers are on sale in the markets and by the roadsides and cultivation is effected simply by removing the plant from one tree and attaching it to another more conveniently situated. BROMELIAD MALARIA Under certain exceptional circumstances bromeliads are detrimental to public health because of the malaria-carrying mosquitoes that breed in their tanks. As explained in my article in the Smithsonian Report for 1952, there have been only three instances of serious malaria infestation attributed to bromeliad breeding mosquitoes although the disease is worldwide in tropical and warm temperate regions. The first case was in the coastal rain forest of Sao Paulo, the second on the British island of Trinidad, and the third and worst in Santa Catarina, again in the coastal rain forest. The present paper attempts to estimate the possibility of the occur- rence of further malaria of this origin by giving a comprehensive view of the distribution of the Bromeliaceae in Brazil. From the map (p. 7) it is immediately evident that the bromeliads are con- centrated in the east along the narrow coastal slope just as is the human population. Analysis by genera and species shows that the Bromeliads which store their water in open tanks are still further concentrated in the east, while those storing water in the leaf-tissues predominate in the interior. Thus there is little probability of serious bromeliad malaria on the Planalto or in the Amazon basin. On the other hand, species of bromeliads that are proved hosts of malaria mosquitoes are recorded for practically the entire length of the Bra- zilian coast. Gravisia aquilega, the most important host in Trinidad, is found as far south as Baia, while Vriesia gigantea and Hohenbergia augusta, the worst offenders in Santa Catarina, extend north to Espirito Santo. I2 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 126 Fortunately much more is involved than the mere presence of the mosquito host, as Veloso has demonstrated in his detailed study noted above. To be effective in the transmission of malaria, the bromeliad species must also occur in great quantity within mosquito range of a large human population. Although there is no survey like that of Veloso to give us an idea of bromeliad concentrations in the other states of Brazil, there is reason to hope that the situation in Santa Catarina is exceptional. Certainly nowhere else have I seen or heard of such dense masses of tank bromeliads as occur there. If there remain no serious foci of bromeliad malaria, as seems to be the case, then public health is concerned only with guarding against their de- velopment. The Servico Nacional de Malaria is already doing this in the south, where I have seen their crews protecting a new beach resort by clearing bromeliads from a belt around it. In the north even this seems unnecessary. Probably the only danger there is the remote possibility of artificially stimulating the growth of bromeliads by pro- viding a favorable habitat, as happened in the development of the cacao plantations in Trinidad. Finally, the needs of public health, though paramount, are not wholly irreconcilable with those of horticulture. Destruction of bro- meliads when necessary involves only a narrow belt around a settle- ment and this is not the only means of control nor even the most feasible one in some instances. The species involved are both common and wide-ranging and their extinction is virtually impossible as long as any forest remains. PRELIMINARY RECORDS All necessary preliminary records have been brought together here and placed in alphabetical order so that they can be more easily con- sulted in monographic studies and so they will not encumber the text when it is used for purposes of identification.

Duplicate in the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues.” SYSTEMATIC TREATMENT CHARACTERS OF THE FAMILY Herbs or rarely shrubby perennials, largely epiphytic. Roots usually present, but often serving merely as holdfasts in the epiphytic species. Leaves spirally arranged, usually rosulate, dilated-sheathing at the base, simple, entire or spinose-serrate, bearing peltate scales at least when young, and these serving to absorb moisture. Inflorescence simple or compound, of spikes or racemes, usually bearing brightly colored conspicuous bracts. Flowers perfect or sometimes func- tionally unisexual, that is with both stamens and pistil but only one functional, rarely strictly staminate (Cryptanthus). Perianth hetero- chlamydeous, the sepals and petals free or connate. Stamens 6 in 2 series; filaments free, or joined to the petals or to each other. Styles 3-parted. Ovary superior to inferior, 3-celled. Placentae axile, extending the length of the cell or variously reduced. Fruit capsular or baccate. Seeds naked, winged, or plumose. Embryo small, situated at the base of the copious mealy endosperm. KEY TO SUBFAMILIES AND GENERA 1. Seeds variously appendaged (naked in Navia, but the ovary superior and the fruit dehiscent); ovary wholly or in part superior (wholly inferior in Pitcairnia anomala) ; fruit a capsule (but indehiscent in a few species of Pitcairnia). 2.

Apical appendage of the seed minute or lacking; petals firm and remaining more or less in position after anthesis. Subgenus Vriesia (Species 1-95) 1. Apical appendage of the seed well developed: petals soon flaccid and a SS a ee ee Subgenus Alcantarea (Species 96-100) It has not been possible to follow Mez’s division of the subgenus Vriesia (Euvriesia) into sections based on the relative length of the petals and stamens, because these parts are unknown in so many species. Furthermore, in a large 98 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 126 number of the species where these parts have been examined, the stamens are not consistently or clearly longer or shorter than the petals. This is particularly the case in several of the commoner species with compound inflorescences. Con- sequently it seems best to construct a key that is artificial insofar as is neces- sary to give it maximum efficiency. This key is divided into a number of sub- keys to make it less unwieldy and to save it from extreme indentation. Conspectus of subkeys 1.
