- Identification: Matthias Asmuss (2012-08-15) =Tillandsia denudata
- the upper ones taking the sun, turning so red that you first think of Ti somnians that only occurs in Peru (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Identification (10324): HEL (2012-08-15) =T. cf denudata
- T.denudata based on overall habit BUT T. somnians common in S.Ecuador. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Identification (10324): Eric Gouda (2012-08-16) =Tillandsia somnians
- looks very much like T.somnians, except that it does not form the viviparous pups in the inflorescences (that as far as I know always is the case in this species and often less spikes) (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Add Note (10324): Matthias Asmuss (2012-08-16) - Ti somnians has very few spikes at the apex and they do not hang as it does in this species; I have growing Ti somnians here on rocks and almost always there is a viviparous pup in the inflorescence and here I see no pup in the inflorescence at all. By the way, in FCBS Ti somnians is not mentioned for Ecuador, but it can be amended. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Identification (10324): Franz Gruber (2012-08-16) =Till. somnians
- It is somnians. Only the fl. spike is too jung to have offshoots. We have them from the same region. - Add Note (10324): Bruce Dunstan (2012-08-31) - In Bromeliaceae of Venezuela they have T. tovarensis that looks close to this ? (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Identification (10324): Matthias Asmuss (2012-08-31) =Tillandsia denudata
- in such a big population of Tillandsia you should be able to see at least one viviparous pup in the old and dry inflorescences or the mature plants be the result of a pup in any scape, but I don't see any of these habits to identify a Ti somnians; besides the too many spikes for a somnians are hanging down here (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
