Title: Aechmea Capixobae
Medium: Digital Photography
Photographer: Aaron J. Greenblatt
Camera Type: Panasonic DMC-LZ7 Lumix 7.2 MP
Editing: Edited in PhotoShop 7.0 for color accuracy, size, and to apply copyright and border.
Location: Photograph taken at the University of Michigan-Dearborn (UMD) greenhouse which is attached to the Science Building on the UMD campus in Dearborn, Michigan.
Permission to take this picture was granted by Dr. Don Miller, faculty member in the Department of Natural Sciences at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
Description: This Aechmea Capixobae was fruiting in the greenhouse. The yellow objects in this image are the fruit, which is toxic to humans.
About Aechmea: Aechmea is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. Aechmea has more than 140 species distributed from Mexico through South America. Most of the species in this genus are epiphytes.
An epiphyte is an organism that grows upon or attached to a living plant. Epiphytic plants are sometimes called "air plants" because they do not root in soil. Epiphytic organisms usually derive only physical support and not nutrition from their host, though they may sometimes damage the host. Epiphytic plants use photosynthesis for energy and (where non-aquatic) obtain moisture from the air or from dampness (rain and cloud moisture) on the surface of their hosts.
Assemblages of large epiphytes occur most abundantly in moist tropical forests, but mosses and lichens occur as epiphytes in almost any environment with trees.
