Blooming Bromeliads by Baensch
A great book but because this may be used as a reference book you should note the following.
page 50 Aechmea nudicaulis var aequalis A difficult variety to identify. Inflorescence too lax when compared to herbarium specimen
page 63 Aechmea pimenti-velosoi var glabra is ‘Pie’
page 65 Aechmea chlorophylla is lamarchei
page 65 Aechmea lamarchei is maculata
page 69 Aechmea “seideliana” is warasii
page 71 Aechmea triticina var triticina is guarapariensis, is now roberto-seidelii
