- Identification: HEL (2010-11-02) =Tillandsia cf neglecta or hyb.
- Looks alot like T. neglecta which is nearly sympatric with hard, grey T. stricta at Cabo Frio area. (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl) - Identification: Walter Till (2010-11-02) =Tillandsia neglecta
- I agree with Harry. Notice the spreading trichomes at leaf base vs. appressed ones on the lamina, this is quite typical for t. neglecta - Add Note (6133): Peter Tristram (2010-11-02) - Thanks Harry, Walter. I hadn't considered neglecta! It is quite different to the plants we have had as neglecta for many years. I'll try to find out its collection site. Peter (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
