Vriesia (named for Willem Hendrik de Vriese, Dutch botanist and physician)[1] is the second largest genus of the Tillandsioideae subfamily in the botanical family Bromeliaceae. Containing some of the largest bromeliad species, these tropical plants harbor a wide variety of insect fauna, unlike the smaller catopsis species. This genus is closely related to Tillandsia, only differentiated by the presence of petal appendages in Vriesia [2].
