The genus is named in honor of Auguste François Marie Glaziou, French landscape designer and bromeliad collector (1833-1906).[2]
Species
It has three known species, all endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome (Mata Atlantica Brasileira) in southeast Brazil.[3][4]
- Neoglaziovia burle-marxii Leme — endemic to Bahia state. Named for Roberto Burle Marx (1904-1994), a renowned Brazilian artist, botanist, garden designer, and native flora collector/plantsman.
- Neoglaziovia concolor C.H. Wright — endemic to Bahia state
- Neoglaziovia variegata (Arruda da Camara) Mez — native to states of Bahia, Ceará, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Piauí, and Rio Grande do Norte.
Cultivation and uses
Neoglaziovia variegata has been, and continues to be, an important part of localized markets in South America — where its fibers are woven into fabric, netting, and rope.[5]

gollark: It's hard to make things which are good at *both* of those, and you would deal with twice the heat in one place.
gollark: CPUs have to execute x86 (or ARM or other things, but generally a documented, known instruction set) very fast sequentially, GPUs can execute basically whatever they want as long as it can be generated from one of the standard ways to interface with them, and do it in a massively parallel way.
gollark: It's not very efficient to have one thing do both because being specialized means they can make specific optimizations.
gollark: But they're not as good because thermal constraints and no ability to swap the bits separately.
gollark: I mean, you have CPUs with built-in integrated graphics.
