This month's featured article Racinaea is a rather young bromeliad genus, which was established in 1993. It combines all species of the genus Tillandsia, which had been considered as the subgenus Pseudocatopsis. The name Racinaea honors Racine Foster (1910-1991), the wife of the US-american bromeliad-collector and founder of the BSI, Mulford Bateman Foster. Main character are the very tiny, unimpressive flowers. While most of the currently about 70 species stay rather small, a flowering Racinaea fraseri with its more than 2 m tall inflorescence can be a real eye-catcher.
