Pitcairnia
Pitcairnia was established as a genus by Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle in 1788. [3] In 1870, Pepinia was established as a genus by Adolphe-Théodore Brongniart in a publication by Édouard André. [4] Pepinia was reduced to a subgenus of Pitcairnia in 1881 by John Gilbert Baker, [5] but elevated again to a genus in 1988, largely on the basis of the morphology of its seeds. [6]
