Identification (6286): Walter Till (2010-11-24) =Tillandsia cajamarcensis - I consider this a vigorous (if not normal!) specimen of T. cajamarcensis (the grown type is likely a depauperate plant)
Add Note (6287): Eric Gouda (2010-11-24) - What is the difference with Tillandsia huarazensis? (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
Add Note (6286): Peter Tristram (2010-12-06) - I have the so-called T. huarazemsis coming into bloom too. Different looking plant altogether. (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
Add Note (6286): Chris Larson (2016-02-21) - Recently here in Australia it has been discussion with regard to this plant (or similar plants much closer to this plant than T.huarazensis) not being cajamarcensis or that cajamarcensis is not considered a valid species. What is the current status of this species. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
