Abstract
In our phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Pitcairnioideae, three monophyletic groups of genera became evident. These are formally treated as tribes, namely, Brocchinieae (Brocchinia); Pitcairnieae (Ayensua, Connellia, Cottendorfia, Fosterella, Navia, Pepinia, Pitcairnia, and Steyerbromelia); Puyeae (Abromeitiella, Brewcaria, Deuterocohnia, Dyckia, Encholirium, Hechtia, and Puya). Pepinia, most recently considered a subgenus of Pitcairnia, is recognized as a genus in Pitcairnieae.
