Adiantum senae
Baker, J. Bot. 1885: 217
. 1885
.
Range:
—
Bolivia
(SC) and
Brazil
.
Ecology:
—Rare (known from a single collection); open vegetation in lowland regions, on sandy soils of rocky areas;
400 m
.
Notes:
—Rachises slightly flexuous, glabrous; plants ca.
5–7 cm
tall, with pinnae 2–4 ×
1–3 mm
, articulate, rhombic or cuneate, stalked, stalks very thin (hairlike), less than
1 mm
long, with the color of stalks stopping abruptly at pinna bases; pinnae glabrous on both surfaces and idioblasts lacking, terminal pinnae similar to lateral ones, sterile margins slightly lobate or cleft; sori 1 or 2 per pinna, borne distally; and indusia rounded, glabrous. This species has historically been treated as an
Adiantum
, but recent phylogenetic data show it is more properly placed in
Adiantopsis
(
Schuettpelz
et al
. 2014
)
. In
Adiantum
, the sporangia are borne on the underside of the indusia, whereas in
Adiantopsis senae
, the sporangia are attached at the indusial bases.
