Abstract
Background: The Amazon Rainforest, a paramount source of global biological diversity, faces challenges due to its understudied species richness, an insufficient investment in research and escalating rates of deforestation. Thus, acquiring additional data, especially for species distributions is crucial to fill knowledge gaps and guide forthcoming research and conservation initiatives in areas that have been inadequately sampled. This study contributes to addressing these challenges by offering new insights into the diversity and distribution of Pitcairnia species in the Brazilian Amazon.
New information: We recorded 24 species of Pitcairnia 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 (P.aureobrunnea Rauh) was recorded for the first time in the Brazilian Amazon and two new Pitcairnia species were discovered and are being described in separate articles, contributing to the expanding body of scientific knowledge.

期刊介绍:
Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a community peer-reviewed, open-access, comprehensive online platform, designed to accelerate publishing, dissemination and sharing of biodiversity-related data of any kind. All structural elements of the articles – text, morphological descriptions, occurrences, data tables, etc. – will be treated and stored as DATA, in accordance with the Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines of Pensoft Publishers.
The journal will publish papers in biodiversity science containing taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological or environmental data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no lower or upper limit to manuscript size.
