“…Habitat: moist hillside forest, xeric hillside forest. Conservation status: VU; due to its recent discovery (Rossado et al 2018a) the species is not included as a priority for conservation in Uruguay by Marchesi et al (2013). We consider it relevant to add T. uruguayensis to the list of species considered as priority for conservation in Uruguay.…”

“…Nevertheless, there are no studies concerning the entire epiphytic flora of Uruguay and the relationships of this flora with forest types. Most of the present knowledge on vascular epiphytes is addressed in taxonomic studies of families or groups containing epiphytic species, such as ferns (Osten & Herter 1925;Herter 1928;1939;1949;Legrand & Lombardo 1958;Marchesi 1964;1979;Mai 2014), peperomias (Trelease [1939(Trelease [ ]1941Trelease & Herter 1952;Marchesi 1968;Mai et al 2016), orchids (Izaguirre 1972;1985;2013;Rossado et al 2014), bromeliads (Smith 1933;Marchesi 1965;Smith & Downs 1977;Brito & Llano 2008;Rossado 2018;Rossado et al 2018a;b;2019), tradescantia (Pellegrini 2018), ficus (Herter 1940;Brussa & Grela 2007) and cacti (Herter 1930;Lombardo 1946;Eggli et al 2008;Berazategui et al 2010).…”

We provide an updated list of the vascular epiphytic flora occurring in native environments of Uruguay based on literature review, herbarium specimens, and fieldwork throughout the country. The catalogue provides standardized information for each species, including accepted name, synonyms used within Uruguay, epiphytic category, distribution within the country, habitat, conservation status, observations, and a voucher citation. The effort documented 73 species for the epiphytic flora of Uruguay (3 % of the flora), distributed among 29 genera and 12 families. Bromeliaceae was the richest family (17), followed by Polypodiaceae (16) and Orchidaceae (12). Tillandsia stood out as the most speciose genus with 15 species. Characteristic holoepiphytes was the most diverse ecological category. More than half of the epiphytic species documented for Uruguay (53 %) reach their southernmost geographic distribution in the country, whereas only two mostly epipetric species of Tillandsia-T. arequitae and T. uruguayensis-are endemic to the country. Almost half of the epiphytic species found are presently under categories of threat of extinction, with 60 % of them occurring in national protected areas. Both the richest epiphytic families and the predominance of characteristic holoepiphytes coincide with findings from floristic and ecological studies previously carried out in humid subtropical regions.

“…para el departamento de Tacuarembó (Uruguay). Luego de haber estudiado detalladamente la morfología de las entidades citadas en dicho trabajo, llegamos a la conclusión de que las mismas no corresponden a la especie T. xiphioides sino que se trata de la especie recientemente descripta: T. uruguayensis (Rossado et al, 2018). Tillandsia xiphioides se diferencia fácilmente de T. uruguayensis por presentar flores más grandes, de aroma intenso (vs. sin aroma), sépalos mayores o iguales a 32 mm de largo (vs. menores a 30 mm), y pétalos mayores o iguales a 85 mm de largo (vs. menores a 60 mm), de limbo igual o mayor a 17 mm de ancho (vs. menor a 11 mm) y fuertemente crenado (vs. suavemente crenado hasta entero).…”

Se citan por primera vez para la flora de Uruguay a Tillandsia capillaris Ruiz & Pav. (= T. capillaris f. hieronymi (Mez) L.B. Sm.) y T. loliacea Mart. ex Schult. f. Tillandsia capillaris es registrada como una especie introducida y espontánea para la ciudad de Montevideo, mientras que T. loliacea es citada como especie nativa del noroeste del país. Se presenta el primer registro de T. tricholepis Baker para ambientes naturales de Uruguay, confirmando el estatus de especie nativa. Se reporta el hallazgo reciente de T. xiphioides Ker Gawl. luego de 73 años sin ser colectada en Uruguay. Este trabajo provee una descripción morfológica para cada especie, incluyendo información sobre su hábitat, distribución geográfica, fenología, estatus de conservación e imágenes.

South America hosts some of the world’s most prominent biodiversity hotspots. Yet, Uruguay – a country where multiple major ecosystems converge – ranks amongst the countries with the lowest levels of available digital biodiversity data in the continent. Such prevalent data scarcity has significantly undermined our ability to progress towards evidence-based conservation actions – a critical limitation for a country with a strong focus on agricultural industries and only 1.3% of the land surface guarded by protected areas. Under today’s rapid biodiversity loss and environmental changes, the need for open-access biodiversity data is more pressing than ever before. To address this national issue, Biodiversidata – Uruguay’s first Consortium of Biodiversity Data – has recently emerged with the aim of assembling a constantly growing database for the biodiversity of this country. While the first phase of the project targeted vertebrate biodiversity, the second phase presented in this paper spans the biodiversity of plants. As part of the second phase of the Biodiversidata initiative, we present the first comprehensive open-access species-level database of the vascular plant diversity recorded in Uruguay to date (i.e. all species for which data are currently available and species presence has been confirmed). It contains 12,470 occurrence records from across 1,648 species and 160 families, which roughly represents 60% of the total recorded flora of Uruguay. The primary biodiversity data include extant native and introduced species from the lycophytes, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms groups. Records were collated from multiple sources, including data available in peer-reviewed scientific literature, institutional scientific collections and datasets contributed by members of the Biodiversidata initiative. The complete database can be accessed at the Zenodo repository: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3954406
