Coméntarios da contra-capa:
For centuries, the giant Brazilian bromeliads, belonging to the genus Alcantarea, have proven of great interest to naturalists and collectors. Reaching up to 5 m in height when in bloom, Alcantarea are among the most popular garden bromeliads. In addition to their importance to horticulture, most species of Alcantarea keep a considerable volume of water between their leaves and provide an important reservoir for fauna or even for other plants. In this fully illustrated book, edited by a writer with a PhD on the genus, readers will learn cultivation, use in the landscaping, history, taxonomy, morphology and ecology of these beautiful plants. Here, all bromeliad enthusiasts and landscapers will have the opportunity to get to know each species and their rocky habitats in eastern Brazil.
