- Add Note (1981): Walter Till (2008-09-16) - Probably a preanthetic T. secunda
- Add Note (1981): Harry Luther (2008-09-16) - I agree.
- Add Note (1981): Walter Till (2008-09-16) - T. mima would be another guess.
- Add Note (1981): Harry Luther (2008-09-16) - T. mima should be bigger, broader-leaf rosette , also more silvery-grey.
- Add Note (1981): Greg Dauss (2008-09-16) - Thank you Walter and Harry. The identification of it being T. secunda corresponds with old data of mine (wrote down the species, lost the tag) on file.
- Add Note (1981): Eric J. Gouda (2008-09-16) - All discussion above was given without the flower detail, that has been added later!
- Add Note (1981): Eric J. Gouda (2008-09-16) - Seeing the detail of the flower (earlier not available), I think it is a hybrid with Tillandsia secunda. The habit doesn't fitt T.secunda eather. Defenitely not this species, see picture of the flower taken in the wild (stamens included): click here or see gallery.
- Add Note (1981): greg (2008-09-25) - The elongated anthers might indicate T. extensa perhaps?
- Add Note (1981): Harry E. Luther (2008-09-25) - T. platyphylla, extensa or propagulifera; whoever has the specimen should be able to figure it out.. HEL
- Identification (1979): Eric Gouda (2009-02-23) =Tillandsia propagulifera
- I have a T.propagulifera flowering at the moment and I'm sure it is this species. Check out with some time it will produce pubs in the inflorescence. Mostly it has very brittle leaves.

- Add Note (1981): Greg Dauss (2011-06-23) - After flowering it matches to T. extensa. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Add Note (1979): Andrew Smith (2011-06-23) - A nice Alluaudia (Didiereaceae) growing at its side in images (1) and (2). Where is this (presumably not Madagascar)?
- Add Note (1979): Greg Dauss (2011-06-24) - Andrew, this is in Oceanside CA, 5 miles from the coast at my home. That is my Madagascan garden with Alluaudia, Didieria, and Pachypodiums and other assorted African succulents. For some Tillandsias it feels like home.
