The Bromeliaceae (Pineapple) is a large family of over 3,000 species in approximately 57 genera. They are mainly terrestrial and epiphytic herbaceous plants that grow in mild temperate to tropical regions of the Americas, ranging from Virginia to Patagonia. There is one species of Pitcairnia that grows in West Africa, and a few species grow on the islands of the Pacific. They live in both moist and arid areas, and live at altitudes up to 4,500 meters in the Andes. The family derives its name from the publication in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus of Bromelia pinguin. Two of the best known bromeliads are of course the pineapple, Ananas comosus, and the so-called Spanish moss, Tillandsia usneoides.

Although it is often obvious that an epithet derives from a personal name, sometimes it is not so clear. Going through a list of unfamiliar epithets and trying to decide which ones were named for people is a difficult task. Sorting out epithets derived from personal names from ones derived from geographical locations is equally problematic. It is also very difficult, sometimes well-nigh impossible, to find out who are the honorees for many of these names, since even if the authors specified it in their original publications, those publications are often hundreds of years old, in foreign languages, and housed in herbaria, libraries or museums that are a problem to access. A lot of detective work and a certain amount of guesswork must of necessity go into such a compilation as this, and for all these reasons the following list may contain names that in fact do not commemorate individuals at all. It is almost inevitable that there are also errors in assigning credit for the names included here, but it is my hope that knowledgeable people will notice these and bring them to my attention so that they may be corrected.
