				- Opmerking (5397): Eric Gouda  (2010-01-12) - Seems to be close to one of the Tillandsia like Vriesea, like Vriesea hitchcockiana. It could be new. (Verzonden: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
 - Opmerking (5397): Peter Tristram  (2010-01-14) - I don't think this is Vr hitchcockiana - wrong life zone for starters. I saw it too, in the trees as well and considered it could be a Vriesea like patula or a Tillandsia (relative of?) rusbyi or barthlottii. I would like to see its flowers. I don't imagine it would be undescribed given where it grows but you never know! Unfortunately I don't have it in cultivation. Peter (Verzonden: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
 - Opmerking (5397): Walter Till (2010-01-14) - I agree!
 wt - Opmerking (5397): Eric Gouda  (2010-01-14) - Dear Walter, on what name do you agree?
 Was it on what Peter said, or me? (Verzonden: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl) - Determinatie (5397): HEL  (2010-01-15) =Vriesea sp. S.L. 
						
 
						  - I dont recognise it. Not V. hitchcockiana which among others things has conspicuously exserted sepals. Hard to tell; are the leaves soft or rigid? (Verzonden: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl) - Opmerking (5397): Steven Heathcote  (2010-01-15) - I dont have any information other than the pictures, the plant was growing about 20ft above the ground in a busy area so the photos were the best I could do. I had no idea the plant would prove so interesting or I would have spent a bit longer trying to collect information about it.
 - Opmerking (5397): Peter Tristram  (2010-01-16) - Harry, it has velvety leathery leaves, not rigid like hitchcockiana. I'll look for a photo of it. Peter (Verzonden: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
 - Opmerking (5397): Casper  (2010-01-20) - I find it very interesting too. It reminds me of another \"still must hav\" - see b+w photo of T.guanacastensis, Bromeliad Lexicon, ill. 105. (Different zone) (Verzonden: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
 - Determinatie (5397): HEL  (2010-01-20) =Vriesea sp. 
						
 
						  - FYI. Tillandsia guancastensis is Racinaea contorta, a very different plant. (Verzonden: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
