Range:
—
Endemic
to
Bolivia
(
LP
)
; known only from the
type
.
Ecology:
—Rare; rocky trailside in secondary humid forests;
3200 m
.
Notes:
—Ultimate segments irregularly divided, the lobes with (1)3 or 4 veins each; blades basally abruptly reduced, the basal pinnae>50% as long as the longest ones. Differs from commoner
E. cheilanthoides
by its 2-pinnate-pinnatifid blades, abruptly reduced blades proximally (
vs
. blades with numerous gradually reduced pinnae), more ascending pinnae (set ca. 60° to rachis
vs
. 75°–90°), and slightly flexuous rachises. Differs from
E.
×
flabellatus
(the hybrid between
E. cheilanthoides
and
E. flexuosus
) by the ultimate segments irregularly divided (
vs.
deeply bifid), the lobes with (1)3 or 4 (
vs
. 1 or 2) veins each, the blades basally abruptly (
vs.
gradually) reduced, and the basal pinnae>50% as long as the longest ones (
vs
. much shorter).
