- Note (9759): Andrew Flower (2012-03-03) - I find it difficult to see this plant as T. recurvata!
ta.... petal shape is not flared, floral bracts much larger and enclose sepals, and mature growths don't clump like recurvata for example....

Apologies for wasting time! (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Identification (9759): Walter Till (2012-03-05) =Tillandsia mandonii
- This is what I call T. mandonii: a soft leaved relative of T. myosura
