English: Description in the source:
The plate of Bromelia binotii (Figure 26) was published in Floralia, Geïllustreerd Weekblad voor Tuinbouw. This species had also been illustrated in 1866 in Gartenflora with a description by Regel (see chapter Germany). The drawing in Floralia was made from a plant belonging to O.J. Quintus, a bromeliad collector and hybridizer living near Groningen in the north of The Netherlands. Quintus corresponded with Wittmack and send him some of his hybrids; it may well be that the Bromelia binotii from Quintus was a lineal descendant of Regel's plant. But this is speculation as this species was also offered in Belgian nursery catalogues from 1874 to 1888 at least. In Floralia the plant is named Karatas binotii, but that name is invalid as it had already been used by Austrian botanist Franz Antoine for the species we now know as Neoregelia binotii.
