Neotropical montane forests are characterized by their great abundance and high diversity of epiphytes. This study examines the distribution of epiphytic families in three zones of sixMeliosma vemicosa trees using single-rope climbing techniques to access the forest canopy. Nine-hundred ninety-seven vascular epiphytes from eight angiosperm families and division Pteridophyta occurred at the study site. Orchidaceae, Bromeliaceae, Araceae, Ericaceae, Piperaceae, and Gesneraceae were the most common angiosperm families. Pteridophytes accounted for 40% of the individuals present. Friedman\u27s test for Shannon -Weiner index and Orchidaceae showed a significant Chi-squared value (X2 =8.4, and X2 =7.4) and tied p-value (p = 0.02, and p = 0.02). Mo...
