xNiduregelia lyman-smithii (Leme) Leme
Status: Doubtful and Excluded
Publ: Nidularium - Bromeliads of the Atlantic Forest 180-181. (2000)
Taxonomic Notes:
- See xNiduregelia 'Lyman-Smithii in BCR
- 'The natural origin of this bigeneric hybrid is doubtful. The grower of this bromeliad, Alvim Seidel, a well-known horticulture enthusiast from Santa Catarina state does not number plants as they enter his collection. A specimen receives his collection number only when it is sent to be identified, that is, when it leaves the collection. This control method may lead to oversight, especially when data on the origin of a specimen is left to memory, and may naturally fail over the years as the amount of data increases.' —See Leme 2000a p. 181
