Hi All,

For those with a particular interest in carnivorous Bromeliads, or
Bromeliads in general: a very interesting scientific work on this
family has been published recently, including (of coarse) a sub-
chapter on carnivory. It also indicates that Puya raimondii may
benefit from decomposing birds, impaled by spines on its foliage
(from indicated references)!
