Guzmania is a genus of plants with over 120 species of flowering plants in the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Tillandsioideae. They are mainly perennial, evergreen, epiphytic plants native to Florida, the West Indies, southern Mexico, Central America and northern and western South America. They are found at altitudes of up to 3,500 m in the Andean rainforests. The genus is named after the Spanish pharmacist and naturalist, Anastasio Guzman. Several species of this genus are cultivated as indoor and outdoor garden plants. The best known is Guzmania lingulata (scarlet star) which bears orange and red bracts. The plant dies after producing its flowers in summer, but new plants can easily be propagated from seedlings that emerge at the base of the dying plant.
