"In late 2001, I was reading the very comprehensive Plant listing from Michael's Bromeliads of Venice, Florida, and happened to see a bigeneric called Dyckipu which fascinated me. It was an illegitimate name because the first syllables from both genera involved had been used whereas the first and last should be used. The correct nothogenus should have been xPuckia because Puya laxa was the seed parent and a hybrid of Dyckia fosteriana x platyphylla was the pollen parent. If you have this plant please change the name to xPuckia 'Sparkle'"
