Wittmackia is a genus in the family Bromeliaceae (Bromelioideae) distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, the Caribbean islands, and with a few representatives in Northern South America and the Yucatán Peninsula. The Caribbean-endemic species form a clade and are restricted to the Greater Antilles with most of them occurring in Jamaica; the genus is notably absent from Ayiti (Hispaniola). Using Target Sequence Capture with the Bromeliad1776 bait kit, I infer the phylogeny of this group and analyze it in a biogeographical context.
