Floral development and anatomy of two species ofAechmea(Bromeliaceae, Bromelioideae)
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020AbstractAechmea (Bromeliaceae) is a large genus with controversial systematics and distinct flower shapes and pollinators. We explored floral anatomy and development in two Aechmea spp. belonging to different subgenera to contribute useful information on reproductive biology and taxonomy.

Palynology of Bromelioideae, a highly diverse subfamily within Bromeliaceae
Botanical Journal of the Linnean SocietyAbstract Bromelioideae exhibits high variability in pollen characters and is therefore eurypalynous. Palynological studies have described numerous genera within the subfamily, contributing to a more precise circumscription at generic and infrageneric levels. However, most studies have focused on surface analyses or observations of the
