• Note
  Going through our specimens of Aechmea distichantha and of Billbergia pyramidalis these two specimens called my attention for their brilliant leaves and flowers, quite different from all other specimens, reason for which I consider them new varieties.
  
  Butcher's note This was described at the same time as Billbergia pyramidalis var vernicosa which was subsequently found to have been preserved with varnish. Suggest the same happened here! p. Bradea plus
