- Add Note: Peter Tristram (2007-09-05) - Consider R bakeri. Knize collects in the Rio Maranon where it grows. Similar to what we have in Aussie as R. bakeri, probably id'd by UD.
- Add Note: Joachim Saul (2007-09-05) - I don't know R. bakeri, but how about R. multiflora?
Congratulations to Andrew, seed-grown Racineas are not something to see every day, very impressing! - Add Note: Peter Tristram (2007-09-05) - Consider R bakeri. Knize collects in the Rio Maranon where it grows. Similar
to what we have in Aussie as R. bakeri, probably id'd by UD. - Add Note: Andrew Flower (2007-09-05) - Peter, Thanks - but I think Uncle Derek will be on your case again - R. bakeri is a not a valid taxon - and it certainly is not on THE CD.
However - my first guess was R. flexuosa, and I see that Tillandsia bakeri is a synonym for R. flexuosa. Time to change all those Aussie labels? Lets wait for a taxonomist first, though.... - Add Note: Harry Luther (2007-09-05) - R. multiflora
