An illustrated checklist of the species of Bromeliaceae from the Serra do Cabral, Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil is presented, including 20 species in 11 genera from three subfamilies. Subfamilies Tillandsioideae and Bromelioideae each contain eight species, which mainly inhabit rocky fields. Tillandsia is the most diverse genus, with six species. Subfamily Pitcairnioideae contains four species, including Dyckia spinulosa, as well as Dyckia oscari, a new species described and illustrated herein.

We report the first records of Tillandsia kegeliana, T. loliacea, T. paraensis, T. parvispica, T. recurvata, and T. tenuifolia for Maranhão, Brazil. These species were collected in the Amazonian and Cerrado biomes. This work adds new knowledge to the flora of Maranhão and extends the distribution of these species within Brazil.

— A new species of Dyckia (Bromeliaceae, Pitcairnioideae) from Maranhão, Northeastern Brazil is described and illustrated. Dyckia maranhensis is endemic in the cerrado phytogeographic domain and it was erroneously identified as D. braunii Rauh in herbarium collections. Information on its phenology, distribution, and conservation status is provided. The species is morphologically compared to D. dissitiflora Schult. & Schult. f., which is the most similar species.

We report the first records of Utricularia cutleri Steyerm. and U. resupinata B.D.Greene ex Bigelow from Maranhão, northeastern Brazil. These species were collected in Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. This study adds new information on the flora of Maranhão and extends the distribution of these species in Brazil.

This study reports the first record of Passiflora pedata L. (Passifloraceae) from the state of Maranhão and from the Northeast Region of Brazil. The species was collected in the municipality of Buriticupu, which is located in a remnant of Amazon Forest in western Maranhão. This work adds to the knowledge of the flora of Maranhão and the distribution of P. pedata in the Brazilian Amazon.
