Is there an image of the plant? (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) Identification (11872): Walter Till (2014-11-18) =Puya chilensis - The quite small size of your plant is no obstacle to identify it as such Add Note (11872): Chris Larson (2014-11-18) - Thanks Walter. I just contacted the collector of the seed. He said he thinks he collected it without seeing flowers in inland southern Peru at around 2500 metres.

It does not look typical P boliviensis and Zizka does report natural hybrids. I will send latest publications to Chris so he can do some butchering!
