• -Distribution and Habitat: Pitcairnia frequens is an endemic species of the Morro dos Seis Lagos top in São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas, Brazil—Amazonian domain (Fig. 4). The undulating plateau of the hill has six lakes, and the Pitcairnia is growing near the Lakes Dragão and Verde as a rupicolous plant on sun-exposed surfaces or in places slightly shaded by shrubs (Fig. 3).
  Conservation status:—According to the IUCN Red List (IUCN 2011), the species should be treated as least concern (LC). Due to its large population size growing at the top of a difficult to access hill, and for its placement in the intersection of three protected areas: Pico da Neblina National Park, Morro dos Seis Lagos Biological Reserve, and Balaio Indigenous Park (Fig. 4). —See Saraiva & Forzza 2012
