Add Note (5137): Eric Gouda (2009-08-31) - Leo Dijkgraaf noted that he wrote about this unknown species in JBS55(4):166, 192. On the back cover there is a nice picture of it with a condor flying over. (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)

Identification (5137): Noema Cano (2010-05-20) =Puya weberbaueri - This is Puya weberbaueri (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
Add Note (5139): Eric Gouda (2010-05-20) - I think it is not Puya weberbaueri, the spikes are clearly stipitate and the floral bracts are not really imbricate as in the description. I have checked the type and the floral bracts are exceeding the sepals and soon glabrous. (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
Add Note (5139): Allen Hirsh (2011-11-29) - This is at 12000 feet. Any idea what the winter climate is at this location? Does it get the high altitude cold waves so prevalent in Arequipa? How much higher in altitude does this species grow? Is it on a north or south facing slope? As a general observation, for those of us who actually want to garden with these plants, i.e. no greenhouse, no mediterranean climate, the paucity of ecological information in these posts and the fixation with taxonomy is infuriating.
Identification (5139): Eric Gouda (2012-08-06) =Puya weberbaueri - The probem here is that 5138 is Puya weberbaueri, but the others are not the same species!
Identification (5139): Miguel Hinojosa Talavera (2024-01-09) =Puya spec. - This one seems to be a different species and is also growing in the Colca valley in Arequipa (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
