Claim: Pitcairnia nematophora is a species in the genus Pitcairnia, within the family Bromeliaceae, a family of monocot flowering plants of 75 genera and around 3590 known species native mainly to the tropical Americas.
Evidence: This species is endemic to Venezuela. 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.
