Bromeliad for ID : Kenya : 05OCT16 : AK-5 : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3) This ornamental looks very close to Painted Fingernail Bromeliad, Neoregelia spectabilis. But all the ones I found in my search have rounded leaves at the tip where as these had a pointed one. Experts kindly advice. Could this be Aechmea ampla? The closest match i could find was Wittrockia superba. http://www.worldfieldguide.com/species-detail.php?taxno=18148&gr=world Canistrum superbum could be the right name. |
