• As far as our researches have extended, an unrecorded species; introduced from the West-Indies, by Lady AMELIA HUME, from whose collection we had the specimen from which
  our drawing has been made. Requires to be kept in the bark bed of the stove, where it flowers about August. G. —See Baker 1852
• Pitcairnia integrifolia has a long record of cultivation under several names and Glaziou's records are notoriously inadequate, so it seems highly probable that the record for Brazil is based on an introduction. —See Smith & Downs 1974
