Aechmea costantinii
Locality: Brazil -
Photographer: Peter Tristram
Note: Grown from garden seed - most were x blanchetiana by the look of them. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Identification:
- Note: Jeffrey Kent (2014-11-04) - Looks close, but could be a hybrid. Did you get the seed from Elton Leme? I have one plant which is slightly different. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Note: Peter Tristram (2014-11-04) - Leme's Fragments... book has a number of photos of costantinii (constantinii in the book) that very closely resemble my plant. I don't think this is a hybrid esp looking at the petals. Have you any photos of yours, Jeff? (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Note: Jeffrey Kent (2014-11-06) - The bracts are lustrous and larger, the plant is more compact. MINE NEVER SETS SEED.
