Bromelia laciniosa natively known as "macambira", is part of the bromeliad plant family, or in other words, the pineapple family—though not all bromeliads resemble the common pineapple.
 As a family, the histories of bromeliads have been well recorded, but the details of its many species, like "Bromelia laciniosa", are not known.
 "Bromelia laciniosa" is native to Brazil and Argentina but cultivated in many other places.
The "camisa" blouse is a garment that originated in the Philippines.
 It is made from a cloth that has been woven using thread made from the pineapple plant.
 The thread is known as piña thread.
 Clothing and accessories, like shawls, were made out of piña.
 These began to be woven in the Philippines in the 16th century, and are still being made today.
 THE TEXTILE MUSEUM says that "The pineapple plant is not a native species to the Philippines it is thought to have been introduced by the Spanish".
 Because the cloth took a very long time to make, it was highly sought after and wearing a camisa blouse was seen as a sign of wealth.
Bromelioideae is a subfamily of the bromeliads (Bromeliaceae).
 This subfamily is the most diverse, represented by the greatest number of genera with 32, but the fewest species with 861.
 Most of the plants in this group are epiphytes, though some have evolved in, or will adapt to, terrestrial conditions.
 This subfamily features the most plant types which are commonly cultivated by people, including the pineapple.
Matricaria discoidea, commonly known as pineappleweed, wild chamomile, and disc mayweed is an annual plant native to North America and Northeast Asia but which has become a cosmopolitan weed.
 It is in the family Asteraceae.
 The flowers exude a chamomile/pineapple aroma when crushed.
 They are edible and have been used in salads (although they may become bitter by the time the plant blooms) and to make herbal tea.
 Pineapple weed has been used for medicinal purposes, including for relief of gastrointestinal upset, infected sores, fevers, and postpartum anemia.
Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell or group of somatic cells.
 Somatic embryos are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in the development of embryos, i.e. ordinary plant tissue.
 No endosperm or seed coat is formed around a somatic embryo.
 Applications of this process include: clonal propagation of genetically uniform plant material; elimination of viruses; provision of source tissue for genetic transformation; generation of whole plants from single cells called protoplasts; development of synthetic seed technology.
 Cells derived from competent source tissue are cultured to form an undifferentiated mass of cells called a callus.
 Plant growth regulators in the tissue culture medium can be manipulated to induce callus formation and subsequently changed to induce embryos to form from the callus.
 The ratio of different plant growth regulators required to induce callus or embryo formation varies with the type of plant.
 Somatic embryos are mainly produced "in vitro" and for laboratory purposes, using either solid or liquid nutrient media which contain plant growth regulators (PGR’s).
 The main PGRs used are auxins but can contain cytokinin in a smaller amount.
 Shoots and roots are monopolar while somatic embryos are bipolar, allowing them to form a whole plant without culturing on multiple media types.
 Somatic embryogenesis has served as a model to understand the physiological and biochemical events that occur during plant developmental processes as well as a component to biotechnological advancement.
 The first documentation of somatic embryogenesis was by Steward et al. in 1958 and Reinert in 1959 with carrot cell suspension cultures.
Perovskia is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae.
 Members of the genus are native to southwestern and central Asia.
 It includes the garden plant Russian sage ("P. atriplicifolia").
Thonningia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Balanophoraceae containing the single species Thonningia sanguinea.
 It is distributed throughout much of southern and western Africa, particularly the tropical regions.
 Common names for the plant include ground pineapple.
 A familiar plant to humans, it has an extremely long list of common names in many African languages.
 Many names are inspired by the resemblance of the plant's inflorescence to a pineapple or palm tree.
 Some of the names can be translated as pineapple of the bush (from Anyi), duiker's kolanut (from Igala), and crown of the ground (from Yoruba).
Perovskia atriplicifolia ( ), commonly called Russian sage, is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant and subshrub.
 Although not a member of "Salvia", the genus of other plants commonly called sage, it is closely related to them.
 It has an upright habit, typically reaching 0.5 - , with square stems and grey-green leaves that yield a distinctive odor when crushed.
 It is best known for its flowers.
 Its flowering season extends from mid-summer to late October, with blue to violet blossoms arranged into showy, branched panicles.
Piña is a fiber made from the leaves of a pineapple plant and is commonly used in the Philippines.
 It is sometimes combined with silk or polyester to create a textile fabric.
 Piña's name comes from the Spanish word "piña" which means pineapple.
The pineapple ("Ananas comosus") is a tropical plant with an edible multiple fruit consisting of coalesced berries, also called pineapples, and the most economically significant plant in the Bromeliaceae family.
