Flora das cangas da Serra dos Carajás, Pará, Brasil: Bromeliaceae

This study aims to present the species of Bromeliaceae that occur at canga vegetation of Serra dos Carajas, in the state of Para, Brazil. Six genera and 13 species of Bromeliaceae are recorded for the area. Aechmea was the most representative genus with five species, followed by Bromelia, Pitcairnia, and Tillandsia, with two species each. None of the Bromeliaceae species registered in the region are threatened.
