	Bromeliad Biota - Carniverous Bromeliads
		Catopsis berteroniana At least two bromeliads seem to have evolved a greater ability to trap insects and to gain a substantial proportion of their diet from this source.
		A sweet odor emanating from the tank may be the means of attracting insects (5).
		Its leaves, too, produce a waxy powder which, as in Catopsis berteroniana, seems to prevent escape of trapped insects (5).

	Catopsis berteroniana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Catopsis berteroniana is an epiphytic bromeliad thought to be a possible carnivorous plant, similar to Brocchinia reducta, although the evidence is equivocal.
		There are several other species in the genus, none of which are believed to be carnivorous.
		Frank, J.H. and O'Meara, G.F. The bromeliad Catopsis berteroniana traps terrestrial arthropods but harbors Wyeomyia larvae (Diptera: Culicidae).

	PALACI, CARLOS A. AND GREGORY K. BROWN.* (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		All species of Catopsis (15 sp.) produce seeds with a dominant apical coma that is folded while in fruit, a morphology unique to the genus.
		Ovule and seed development in selected species of Catopsis, Tillandsia, and Vriesea was studied with scanning electron and light microscopy in an effort to evaluate the generally assumed homology between the folded apical seed coma of Catopsis and the straight basal seed coma characteristic for almost all remaining Tillandsioideae.
		The straight basal seed coma is formed by elongation of integumentary cells at the micropylar end of the ovule, whereas the folded apical seed coma on Catopsis seeds originates from the outermost layer of chalazal end integumentary cells which form distinctive multicellular hairs.

	VCPS - Descriptions
		Catopsis berteroniana has a rhizome with offshoots, called pups.
		The growing environment for Catopsis can be Sphagnum moss mixed with some orchid bark; or in a 50/50 compost mix of peat and coarse sand.
		If scale insects are seen on Catopsis, do not use white oil; it will kill the entire plant.

	Catopsis berteroniana - soil mix - Bromeliad Forum - GardenWeb
		I've acquired a bare-root Catopsis berteroniana (a carnivorous bromeliad).
		Catopsis are epiphytic by nature but can be grown in a mix similar to green tillandsias---50% orchid bark and 50% potting soil with peat.
		I've grown several species of Catopsis in the past, but quite honestly, they don't do much for me. Their blossoms aren't high on the 'WoW'-meter.

	UF/IFAS Pest Alert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park is Florida's richest center of epiphyte biodiversity and home to the state's rarest species of bromeliads (Catopsis berteroniana, Catopsis floribunda, Catopsis nutans, Guzmania monostachia, Tillandsia flexuosa, Tillandsia pruinosa).
		Eleven of Florida's sixteen species of native bromeliads (airplants) are at risk from attack by Mexican bromeliad weevil (Metamasius callizona), and all are found in the Fakahatchee Strand.
		Catopsis nutans is found nowhere else in Florida, and several other rare bromeliads are found in few places outside of the Fakahatchee Strand.

	Florida's Native Bromeliads (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Sometimes found among these plant materials are dead and drowning non-aquatic insects, which also provide nutrients for the bromeliads.
		Catopsis berteroniana, a species of tank bromeliad found in south Florida, has evolved the ability to trap insects and utilize their nutrients to such a degree that it is essentially a carnivorous plant.
		We have used the symbol "~" to represent the word approximately when discussing length of leaves, bracts, flowers, and seed capsules.

	Canistrum
		In the genus Catopsis there are at least twenty-six species, all epiphytic, and living in the same conditions as Vriesea, and Guzmania species.
		Grow this plant the same way as the previous species, Catopsis Floribunda.

		In Mexico, the weevil has been reported on Aechmea mexicana Baker, Catopsis sp.
		The weevil has also been observed attacking Tillandsia balbisiana Schultes (a species that had been listed already in Florida as threatened) and Tillandsia flexuosa Swartz (already listed as endangered), as well as Catopsis and Guzmania spp.
		The weevil, which appears to be restricted to plants large enough to supply an adequate amount of stem tissue for larval development, has been found most often in large species of Tillandsia.
