Canistrum superbum (Lindm.) Mez, Fl. Bras. 3(3): 621 1891 (syn: Canistrum cruentum F.Muell.; Nidularium superbum (Lindm.) Ule; Nidularium wawreanum Mez; Wittrockia superba Lindm.); Brazil South; Brazil Southeast as per Catalogue of Life; 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.thegardengeeks.com/home/index.php?option=com_sobi2&sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=11&sobi2Id=6354&Itemid=132 http://www.worldfieldguide.com/species-detail.php?taxno=18148&gr=world Canistrum superbum could be the right name. |
