Nidularium

Nidularium is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. Named to describe the nestling characteristic of the inflorescence (Lat. nidulus = little nest), they are native to the rainforests of Brazil. Commonly confused with Neoregelia which they resemble, this plant group was first described in 1854.
