Bromeliaceae, moist montane forests, northern PeruAbstract
In this study digitized specimens from the HAO and MO herbaria were examined, and measurements were made on fresh and dry material using standard morphological terminology. Specialized sources were consulted to complement and update the original description and distribution of Pitcairnia riparia Mez. As a result, additional previously unreported morphological characteristics were identified, including dense leaf pubescence, variations in petal coloration, and details of filaments, anthers, ovary, stigma, and fruit. In addition, the known distribution of the species in northern Peru is extended.
