Identification:
- Note (11122): Eric Gouda (2013-10-01) - Pitcairnia guzmanioides would be a perfect name for this species, but it is not! It is maybe more close to G.archeri, but different again. I know Harry was working on a new species close to these, but it has not been published and I have not seen the specimen of it. Maybe this is it? We need a specimen, so if you come across this again, please collect. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
