Tillandsia ferreyrae
![](img/google.gif)
Locality: Peru - Amazonas - Growing at about 1800 meters in Leimebamba. Large plant to 2.5 meters.
Photographer: Jerry Raack
Note: Here is another plant growing in the same vicinity as the first. Neither plant has much color to the bracts. I'll post a photo of Tillandsia ferreyrae that I did see at much lower elevation to show the typical color. I'm surprised the color would vary this dramatically between clones of the same species.

Identification:
- Identification (11903): Eric Gouda (2014-11-20) =Tillandsia ferreyrae
- Is close to Tillandsia spiraliflora, but distichous flowers (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Note (11903): Jerry Raack (2014-11-20) - Eric, I agree what I posted can not be Tillandsia spiraliflora due to the distchous arrangement of the flowers, but it fits otherwise in size, color and the powdery substance on the inflorescence. I'll post a picture of Tillandsia ferreyrae that I did see at much lower elevation quite a few miles away for comparison.
