Pitcairnia L’Hér (Bromeliaceae-Pitcairnioideae) diversity and distribution in the Brazilian Amazon
We recorded 24 species of <i>Pitcairnia</i> for the Brazilian Amazon, of which nine species are endemic to Brazil and seven are endemic to the Brazilian Amazon Basin. Most species can be rupicolous and have distributions in the Amazon Basin that are influenced by rivers and other watercourses. One species (<i>P.aureobrunnea</i> Rauh) was recorded for the first time in the Brazilian Amazon and two new <i>Pitcairnia</i> species were discovered and are being described in separate articles, contributing to the expanding body of scientific knowledge.
