- Add Note (5530): Matthias Asmuss (2010-03-10) - if I check the picture of Vr modesta in fcbs.org it looks so different, e.g. it is stiff and the plant I have has more or less a hanging spike (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
- Identification (5530): Uwe (2010-03-10) =Vriesea rubyae
- I think of Vriesea rubyae ... just a comment. (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
- Add Note (5530): Uncle Derek (2010-03-11) - V.modesta is rare, V. rubyae is fairly common but even more common are hybrids with this trait. Description for modesta says rhachis visible and we assume the inflorescence is erect. No herbarium specimen in Berlin! I'd like to see it when petals are showing (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
- Add Note (5530): Eric Gouda (2010-03-11) - What I have grown as V.modesta does not have the dark leaf-aheats and the spike is less long attenuate (see Encyclopaedia of Bromeliads) and this looks similar than in the book Oliva-Esteve 2006 p.297 .Mountain plants of Venezuela - The coastal range, the Andes and the tepuis - Bromeliads (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
