Acanthostachys Bromeliad Plant Species

Acanthostachys (a-cantho-steak’-is) - Belonging to the Bromelioideae subfamily; of the two species in this genus, Acanthostachys strobilaceae is unique in the bromeliad world because of the way it cascades on long, thin, terete, spiny leaves, which emerge from a stoloniferous caudex.

The long-lasting inflorescence resembles a miniature pineapple approximately 2.5cm long and 1cm in diameter. This species is found growing as an epiphyte in tropical rainforests.
