“…Tillandsia recurvata) possess a dense covering of these scales, and use roots entirely as holdfasts, while leaves perform photosynthesis and take up water and nutrients. Although quite regularly mentioned in the literature (Benzing 1990(Benzing , 2000Brighigna et al 1997, Lüttge 1989), we are not aware of any study investigating the vigour of plants growing on cables compared with plants growing on trees. The only functional aspects that have already been studied are related to nutrients, i.e.…”

“…En effet, la majorité des espèces de ces plantes vasculaires de la famille des Broméliacées sont des plantes épiphytes à croissance lente, elles vivent sur des arbres sans parasitisme (Malm et al, 1998), ou sur des substrats inertes comme les ls des lignes à haute tension (Brighigna et al, 1997) et les racines, réduites, ne jouant plus qu'un rôle d'ancrage au substrat. Ces espèces sont particulièrement adaptées aux climats arides et semi-arides.…”

“…Curiosamente, os triterpenoides isolados estão restritos às subfamílias Bromelioideae e Tillandsioideae, sendo mais abundantes nesta segunda subfamília. Dentre os triterpenoides isolados, foi constatada a presença de cicloartanos (1-9), lanostanos (10), labdanos (11)(12), derivados do arborinol (13-15), a friedelina (16) e esteroides (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25).…”

“…16 Em função disto, algumas espécies foram avaliadas como biomonitoras ambientais nas últimas décadas. Atualmente, a espécie Tillandsia usneoides é a mais empregada em estudos de biomonitoramento atmosférico de centros metropolitanos 16 e regiões de garimpo, 15 seguida das espécies T. recurvata, 17,18 T. aeranthos, 18 T. caput-medusae morren 19 e Tillandsia capillaris. 20 Outro aspecto das bromeliáceas que pode ser assinalado é sua importância do ponto de vista econômico, pois suas folhas dão excelentes fibras.…”
