They share certain morphological, biochemical and DNA characters with A. macrodontes. , 1998), at some distance from the other botanical varieties of A. comosus, but closer to A. comosus than to A. , 1998). A. comosus var. bracteatus hybridizes easily with A. comosus. Origin and Evolution After inventorying and describing the variability found in Paraguay, Bertoni (1919) stated that the pineapple was domesticated by the Tupi-Guarani Indians from A. guaraniticus (A. comosus var. ananassoides) and then accompanied them in their northward migrations to the Antilles, northern Andes and Central America.
The large, conspicuous bract is fleshy and widened at its base and bends over the flattened calyx surface, covering half of the fruitlet. Its papery tip dries during maturation. Internally, the locules get longer but relatively narrower and less conspicuous in the developed fruit because of the expansion of adjacent tissues, especially of the septa. Placentas show some enlargement but far less than the septal tissues, unless they bear mature seeds. The seeds are approximately 3–5 mm long and 1–2 mm wide, flat on one side and curved on the other, with a pointed end.
