Identification (7245): HEL (2011-09-23) =Mezobromelia cf pleiosticha - Rather slender, graceful morph. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
Identification (7245): Eric Gouda (2011-09-26) =Mezobromelia sp.nov. - Probably a new species, I think we have seen it in Ecuador too
Identification (7245): Michael H. J. Barfuss (2015-09-25) =Mezobromelia bicolor - When compared to the type specimen of M. bicolor (available when googeled for pictures of M. bicolor) and to the description and illustration of S&D (1364, 1365) the plant seems identical, except that it has few more spikes. The locality (Valle del Cauca) is in the same area as the type collection of M. bicolor. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
