- Note (5384): Derek Butcher (2010-01-09) - I think you will have to treat this as a T. fendleri in the broad sense. From the splitters point of view this widely occuring species seems to have slight variations in similar fashion to T. fasciculata. In this case I would say that floral bracts are more glaucous than glabrous but we do know that Smith accepted a Foster collection in 1946 from Fusagasuga! (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
