- Add Note: Uncle Derek (2013-02-19) - To me it looks like the Pitcairnia flammea complex with a possible link to P. corcovadensis hence your funny name. There are very few Pitcairnis hybrids so you should be able to key it out. If you are really keen I can send you descriptions so you can compare (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Add Note: Uncle Derek (2013-02-20) - Ross Little has suggested P. riparia which is another possiblity if it has two sorts of leaves, green and wide or small and prickly. Are the leaves shown linked to the inflorescence? (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Identification (10864): Eric Gouda (2013-02-21) =Pitcairnia riparia
- Are the leaves in the first picture part of it? Those seems to be very narrow. This picture of the vegetative parts shows the typical P.riparia stolones (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Add Note (10864): Peter Tristram (2013-03-06) - Typical of the plants either grown from seed from Ecuador or imported into Australia, all identified as riparia. The inflorescences can be erect or decurved, foliage red, green or in between. A red form with an erect inflorescence used to called erratica. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
