Aiming to analyze vascular epiphytes biogeographic, endemism, and beta diversity in southern Brazilian cloud forest, all published papers up to February - 2023 on the theme and four surveyed sites were analyzed. We built a dataset about the species' presence/absence in the study locations. The floristic relationship was assessed by non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) using Jaccard as a measurement parameter and testing group differences by using the Analysis of similarities (ANOSIN) and Mantel test. Correlations among floristic diversity and WorldClim variables and phytogeographical parameters were evaluated. The diversity analysis was carried out by Sorensen's total dissimilarity and Simpson's dissimilarity. The cloud forest was divided into two distinct groups - Atlantic Forest in Paraná, and Atlantic Forest in Santa Catarina, while subtropical mixed forests were disconnected. A strong correlation between diversity and precipitation, and precipitation seasonality was found. The diversity-β analysis indicated that substitution is the main factor for total diversity. Brazilian cloud forests have a characteristic flora, each mountain has, however, a distinct community with unique species which justifies the preservation of those forests in different mountains and regions.
