Nidularium is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. Named to describe the nestling characteristic of the inflorescence (Lat. nidulus = little nest), all the species are endemic to Brazil.[1][2][3] Commonly confused with Neoregelia which they resemble, this plant group was first described in 1854.[4]
