About Brom-L:
Brom-L was created by Cassio van den Berg to share and discuss information
and experiences of bromeliad taxonomists and growers. It is like a virtual
Bromeliad Society. The most important thing is to exchange Bromeliad
information. As a guide, the discussions should focus on:
- Bromeliad Taxonomy and Identification
- Discussion of types grown
- Cultivation techniques of certain types
- Bromeliad events
- Scientific, biological issues relating to bromeliads
- Seeding and propagating techniques
- Hybrids and hybridizing
- Anything that would be of interest to bromeliad growers
The list may not be used for:
- commercial activities (advertising)
- personal conversation that is of no interest to other members
- conversations that have nothing to do with Bromeliads or growing
plants
- replying to other messages without removing irrelevant text (digest
messages will become difficult to read)
- When replying to messages, please removing irrelevant text from the
original message(s) repeated under your reply - if you do not, digest messages
will become very difficult to read and you will inconvenience readers of your message with unnecessary repeated text
- Some mail services do allow you to reject messages from certain
email addresses. If these addresses are from members of this list
that are regular contributors, do not use this feature, because we
are getting an error message for each rejection. Just use the DEL
key instead.
- Be sure that the subject line is clear in what the message is
about.
INNOVATIONS
- Development of the new BSI Bromeliad Cultivar Register (BCR) has been done at Brom-L/BCG Server,
but will be moved to bsi.org as soon as ready for it.
- Yes the new BCR
is being constantly updated and to let you know what happened recently you now have a 'What's new' button to press.
For example did you know that Foster did not describe xQuesmea Lyman and thanks to Aussies and
Marie Selby archives we now know what the plant looks like.
- You will also note that we using a BCR watermark on our photos.
This is there to deter those who copy your photos and claim them as their own and for commercial purposes.
These photos remain under the ownership of the photographer who sent us copies in the first place

History of Brom-L discussion list
The list Brom-L has been started by Cassio van den Berg in 1993
at http://bdt.org.br in Brazil and Eric Gouda (list owner) was one of the first subscribers. Some of the
archives were maintained by the Tropical Database (BDT) in Brasil, but probably not available any more.
From March 2002 to June 2010 the list was hosted by the University Utrecht Botanic Garden, at
SURFNET created by Eric. For the archives or subscription, see Brom-L List Functions above.
Summer 2010 Surfnet stopped their listserv activities and the list was moved to the Utrecht
University Server of the Beta Faculty
Happy growing and blooming.
