Hohenbergia
Hohenbergia is a genus of bromeliads from the West Indies, Yucatan and northern South America, with rosettes of stiff leaves often grown for their colourful bracts. Grow them bright with water kept in the central cup and a well-draining, airy mix.
Hohenbergia is a genus of plants in the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. It is native to the West Indies, the Yucatán Peninsula, and northern South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil).
The genus name is named after Duke Paul Wilhelm of Württemberg, a German botanist and patron of botany who travelled to the Americas under the alias of Baron of Hohenberg. This genus has two recognized subgenera: the type subgenus and Wittmackiopsis Mez. Recent DNA studies have shown the two subgenera are not monophyletic, and the species of subg. Wittmackiopsis have been transferred to the resurrected genus Wittmackia.
