	Bromeliales
		The Bromeliales are an order of monocots, comprising the family Bromeliaceae, the bromeliad or pineapple family.
		The families Rapataceae[?] and Mayacaceae[?], formerly included in the Commelinales, are also placed here by most modern workers.
		Cronquist placed this order together with the Zingiberales in the subclass Zingiberidae, but it is generally considered to have closer affinities to the Commelinidae.

	PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Commelinidae -- Spring 1999
		Thorne (1999) accept the Commelinales and the Cannales (in this case used in the same sense as the name Zingberales is used by others), followed by the Bromeliales.
		While the Bromeliales and Zingiberidales formed his Zingiberidae, Philydraceae, Pontederiaceae and Haemodoraceae are placed in the Liliales along with Velloziaceae.
		He defines the Bromeliales to include the Rapateaceae, Mayacaceae, Xyridaceae and Eriocaulaceae, a strange combination at best (he altered this in 1999 by accepting Xyridales).

	TED Case Study: Mezcal
		The Agave is in the division Magnoliophyta, class Liliopsida, order Liliales, family Agavaceae; it is a succulent, which is a kind of plant that is indigenous to arid or semiarid regions, and are adapted to extreme heat and dryness.
		The cultivated pineapple, however comes from the division Magnoliophyta, class Liliopsida, order Bromeliales, and the family is of chiefly epiphytic herbs and small shrubs that are native to the American tropics and subtropics.
		Mezcal is not Tequila, though both are distilled from the Agave plant (not the Agave cactus); Mezcal is distilled from the Espadin variety of the plant, in specific, which is the predominant form.

	Beaufort County Library, SC -- About Spanish Moss: Its Nature, History and Uses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Tillandsia usneoides is not a true moss and is unrelated to the plants of the class Musci (or Bryopsida), to which the genus Sphagnum (mosses that form peat) belongs.
		Within the one-family order of Bromeliales, all the species but one are native to tropical America and the West Indies: the exception is a species of the genus Pitcairnia, which is native to Africa.
		An incurable mold infestation killed much of the moss, but enough plants resisted the epidemic that a strain of Tillandsia usneoides immune to the mold soon thrived, draping all the Lowcountry as richly as before.

	PBIO 250 Lecture Notes - Selected Families of Angiosperms: Zingiberidae - Spring 1998
		The Bromeliales, which contains only Bromeliaceae, should be referred to the Commelinidae.
		The Zingiberales, incorporating all of the rest, stand alone as a distinct subclass.
		The direct association of Bromeliales with the Zingiberidae is doubtful.

	PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Zingideridae -- Spring 1999
		The majority of the species belong to the family Bromeliaceae (Bromeliales) and approximately an equal number of species are scattered among the remaining eight families in the Zingiberidales.
		All of the current authors save Reveal (1997) have consistently rejecting the taxon, and even Reveal removes the Bromeliales from the subclass, assigning that order with the Commelinidae.
		Their removal to a basal position within the Commelinidae is fully supportable as demonstrated long ago by Dahlgren & Ramussen (1983) and remains unquestioned even in light of the rbcL data.

	The Classification Of Liliopsids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Thus, we have such words as: cyperalian, lilialian, zingiberalian, etc. These words, which may be used either as nouns or adjectives, will not be found even in unabridged dictionaries, but they are perfectly acceptable.
		An easy way to tell a monocot from a dicot is to look at the venation (pattern of veins) in the leaves.
		And, of course, residents of Hawaii will know Ananas comosus (pineapples) of the family Bromeliaceae, of the order Bromeliales, which also includes Guzmannia, a 'flower' that thrives indoors.

		The tree has large edible fruit, which do look like pineapples, but are not.
		Pineapples, though also monocots, are in the order Bromeliales, and grow on the ground, not in trees.
		Nor do these trees have anything to do with pines.
