Claim: Pitcairnia micropoda is a plant species that can be seen in different parts of the world, and is in the genus Pitcairnia, family Bromeliaceae, order Poales, and kingdom Plantae.
Evidence: This species is endemic to Mexico. Endemism is the state of a species being native to a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.
