The Puna vegetation of Moquegua, South Peru: Chasmophytes, grasslands and Puya raimondii stands
Phytocoenologia, 2015The phytosociology and ecology of puna vegetation in twelve localities at an altitude of 3750-4500 m in northern Moquegua (south Peru) have been studied. The study area has a pluviseasonal climate with summer rainfall. Using TWINSPAN, Detrended Correspondence Analysis and Farthest Neighbor Clustering, 157 phytosociological relevés were analyzed.

Puya raimondii (Pitcairnioideae, Bromeliaceae) and birds: an hypothesis on nutrient relationships
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1980We recorded observations on the relationships between Puya raimondii and the associated bird community in a dry grassland habitat in the high Andean plateau (altiplano or puna) of southeast Peru. From field evidence, we hypothesize that P. raimondii benefits from its association with birds through enhanced nutrient supply. Both bird droppings and dead

Abstract: Puya raimondii Harms is an outstanding giant rosette bromeliad found solely around 4000 m above sea level in the Andes. It flowers at the end of an 80 ‐ 100‐year or even longer life cycle and yields an enormous (4 ‐ 6 m tall) spike composed of from 15 000 to 20 000 flowers.
