Tillandsia spec.
Locality: Honduras - Lempira - N.P. Celaque
Photographer: Reino Koopmans
Note: Altitude 2200 meter (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Identification:
- Note: Eric Gouda (2013-02-26) - Interesting plant that seems to be close to T.violascens and T.coinaensis both from the Andes countries, but smaller. The petals are unknown, but it has very short sepals of 9.5 x 5.5 mm, elliptic and broadly rounded, evenly 1 mm connate and adaxial ones carinate (angled) at base. Floral bracts 19 x 9 mm, incurved and much exceeding the sepals. Probably a new species. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
