Identification: Eric Gouda (2012-12-05) =Tillandsia aff. coinaensis - This looks close to Tillandsia coinaensis from Peru, but is also different with more erect spikes and different leaves (purple color inside the sheaths). The sepals are typically rounded and 8 x 4 mm and distinctly exceeded by the floral bracts. Probably a new species. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
