To get back to Allen's original question, I can look for seed next time I'm in the paramos of the Cordillera del Condor - there are a couple of populations of P. raimondii in the Vicuņa reserve. I'll just have to hope that I get there before the Vicuņa do - they seem to like the seeds of most Puyas, and I've watched them band together to push over masts so they can munch out...
