Tillandsia tortilis 'Pueblo Hammeri'

(Geladen als: Tillandsia tortilis)
Verzamel locatie: New Zealand - Wellington - Anwyl Bromeliads Nursery, Pukerua Bay
Fotograaf: Andrew Flower
Opmerking: January 1994 Morris Tarr gave me seed from a plant he had imported as "Tillandsia Pueblo x hammeri" - ostensibly, then, a hybrid. Seedlings are consistent, and self-fertile which raises the question 'hybrid?". The inflorescence has similarities to my plants of T. tortilis, but vegetatively it is noticebably lighter , more like the small forms of T. schiedeana, and scales much less dense. Does it look familiar to anyone? It is a nice little plant, and quite vigorous - tending back to hybrid origin, I guess! (Verzonden: brom-l@science.uu.nl)

- Opmerking: Uncle Derek (2016-08-16) - Never trust the name on the label. Pueblo seems wrong but Puebla is feasible. The name could have been Puebla ex Hammer. If it had no label I would key it out to T. tortilis (Verzonden: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Opmerking: Eric Gouda (2016-08-16) - It is certainly not a hybrid of T.hammeri and does not look like a hybrid at all. The comment by Derek seems to be logical, except that T.tortilis is not known from Puebla. (Verzonden: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Determinatie: Eric Gouda (2016-08-31) =Tillandsia tortilis
- Maybe it looks a little bit greener because of the growing conditions?! (Verzonden: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Determinatie (12798): Eric Gouda (2016-09-02) =Tillandsia tortilis 'Pueblo Hammeri'
