Ananas bracteatus is a ground-dwelling bromeliad characterized by a rosette of evergreen leaves that are lanceolate and brownish-green, reaching lengths of up to 50 cm. The leaves feature spines that point upwards. During the summer months, this plant generates a compact cluster of yellowish-red flowers, accompanied by red bracts, all situated on a robust, erect stem. This flowering is followed by the development of green-brown pineapples that can grow to about 15 cm in length. While these fruits are edible, their flesh is limited.
