Bromelia laciniosa natively known as macambira, is part of the bromeliad plant family, or in other words, the pineapple family—though not all bromeliads resemble the common pineapple. As a family, the histories of bromeliads have been well recorded, but the details of its many species, like Bromelia laciniosa, are not known. Bromelia laciniosa is native to Brazil and Argentina but cultivated in many other places.
