Streptocalyx (twisted calyx). Bromeliaceae. There are 7 species of Streptocalyx, according to Mez (DC. Monogr. Phaner., vol. 9), of Brazil. The genus differs from Bromelia in having strongly imbricated broad sepals and long corolla-tube. No species are in the American trade, but S. Furstenbergii, Morr., is described in horticultural literature (sometimes as Aechmea Furstenbergii, Morr. & Wittm.). It is a stemless pineapple-like plant, with 30-40 rigid lanceolate lvs. in a dense rosette: cluster a central dense panicle 1-1 1/2 ft. long, with many 2-sided spikes of rather dull fls. S. longifolius, Baker (Bromelia longifolia, Rudge), has densely rosulate lvs. 3-6 ft. long, vaginate at base, spinulose at apex and margin, dark-colored on the edges, scaly. Guiana.
