Taxonomic Notes:
- The author wrote in the Errata that he does not recognize the Genus Pitcairnia and we must read Hepetis instead, which means that the names need to be considered as not published and the new combinations in Pitcairnia are published his monograph in 1935 and thus as (Mez) Mez with the basionym in Hepetis. —See Mez 1896 p. 952
