Add Note (10902): Bruce Dunstan (2013-03-26) - Sorry P. spectabilis? (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Add Note (10902): Eduardo Calderón (2013-03-26) - Perhaps an undescribed subspecies of Pitcairnia sanguinea (with paler flowers than the amazonian type), occurring at the western side of the Colombian West Cordillera. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Identification (10902): Eric Gouda (2013-03-27) =Pitcarinia aff. spectabilis - I think Bruce is right, it looks much closer to P.spectabilis than to P.sanguinea. This last one is a very compact plant (with the same leaf coloration) but different flower type and much shorter pedicel. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
