- Add Note (13782): Andrew Flower (2018-03-23) - oops... floral shoot is 3m high, not 2m. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Add Note (13782): Eric Gouda (2018-03-23) - I do not know what Puya species this is. It is close but not Puya ctenorhyncha which has white tomentose lepidote and serrulate primary bracts and I suppose will never be that size. Interesting specimen! (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Add Note (13782): Eric Gouda (2018-03-23) - Do notice the excellent dissected flower details by Andrew and as Andrew noted, the key leads to Puya ctenorhyncha (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
