- Addit.Note (9759): Andrew Flower (2012-03-03) - I find it difficult to see this plant as T. recurvata!
ta.... petal shape is not flared, floral bracts much larger and enclose sepals, and mature growths don't clump like recurvata for example.... (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl) - Addit.Note (9759): Andrew Flower (2012-03-03) - Oops... just realised I had this taxon up for id on Casus 6103 (October 2010) and Walter id=T. myosura. Apologies for wasting time! (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Identification (9759): Walter Till (2012-03-05) =Tillandsia mandonii - This is what I call T. mandonii: a soft leaved relative of T. myosura
