Puya floccosa var. floccosa
Taxonomic Change:
- Type: Linden Hortus; not found and probably none preserved. The only logical lectotype (designated here) would be: Pamplona, Norte de Santander, Colombia, Schlim 1101 (lectotype, BR; isolectotype, G). —See Smith & Downs 1974 p. 103

Comments:
- It is interesting to note that Puya floccosa has the greatest range for the genus in both territory (over 1500 miles or 2500 kilometers) and elevation (nearly 3000 meters). At the same time the only variation it shows is in the length of branches in the inflorescence and that is not necessarily of any significance. —See Smith & Downs 1974
