- Add Note (12839): Peter Tristram (2016-11-08) - Likely what we have in Australia as T. clavigera v. pendula, from nth Peru and probably a plant from me. I first got this species in 1985 when a friend collected it and have since had many from Knize. I personally think it is a separate species and have no idea why Rauh made it a variety of clavigera (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Identification (12839): Eric Gouda (2016-11-08) =Tillandsia clavigera var. pendula
- Agree with Peter, also see: Tillandsia clavigera var. pendula Rauh: Tillandsia clavigera var. pendula Rauh (1985) does not belong to the 'clavigera' group but is much closer related to T. francisci differing immediately in its much shorter scape and pendulous inflorescence with more densely and polystichously arranged spikes. - Till, W. & Grant, J.R. (2004) Tillandsia francisci, a large New Species from the Andes of Venezuela and Colombia. Journal of the Bromeliad Society 53:195. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
