naturalized throughout 
the tropics. Its short stem 
rises from a cluster of rigid 
recurved leaves, like those of

is exported in large quantities to the United States and 
England. The leaves, some 8 feet long, yield a strong fiber, 
which In the Philippine Islands and elsewhere is woven 
into a fine fabric. So-called pineapple-cloths are also 
made from the fiber of other species of Bromeliacea, as 
Brianelia Pingvin, the wild pineapple.
