The Bromelioideae is the first volume of a trilogy on the study of Bromeliaceae of Ecuador. It will be followed by Pitcairnoideae and the Tillandsioideae, the most extensive subfamily.
This book will try to show the diversity of the epiphytic family Bromeliaceae in three regions of Ecuador, "la Costa" (the coast) "la Sierra" (the mountains) and "el Oriente" (the Amazon Basin).
Bromeliads inhabit all types of vegetation and are found throughout Ecuador from "la region Insular", in the Galapagos archipelago, to the highest "paramos". They thrive in the tropical forests, subtropical forests, and in the high Andes Mountains.
In each subfamily, the species are shown in detail, with the description of the plant, collections studied and photographs of each plant with detailed photographs of the inflorescence.
