13591 - Bromeliads (Wild) - 2018-02-13 (Dimension: 2030 x 1550 pixels - Counter: 9689) Tillandsia portillae Locality: Ecuador, Loja Province - S03 59' 37.4" W79 15' 56.9" Old road from Catamayo to Loja in old trees in pasture Photographer: Jerry Raack Note: This is the first time I have seen Tillandsia portillae in flower. All other times, I have seen post-anthesis inflorescences which are orange to orange-red in color. When in anthesis, the inflorescence is a pretty bright yellow color, changing to orange and red-orange after anthesis. Note the very different foliage between this species and Tillandsia porphyrocraspeda, which is sometimes sold as T. portillae. Eric Gouda recently uploaded these pictures to the Encylopedia website as well. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) (Click on the picture to enlarge) |
