Identification: Eric Gouda (2010-11-02) =Deuterocohnia meziana - Deuterocohnia brevispicata has wider and more succulent leaves and is not growing in that area. Again Deuterocohnia meziana or maybe a Puya?! (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
Add Note: Dutch Vandervort (2010-11-02) - Eric - This plant -- #6126 looks very much like puya I generally find Deuterocohnias to have more succulent leaves. Maybe we need a living specimen and a key -- and a flower!
6127 is distinctly different in that I can see no marginal or terminal spines, leaves are thin and apparently not very succulent. I suspect it is Tillandsia or perhaps Vriesia.
Again a flower would help! (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
