Neotrop. Monogr. 111: 53. 2013 . Range: —Endemic to Bolivia (LP). Ecology: —Rare, known from four collections; epiphytic in montane rain forests; 800–1950 m . Notes: —Similar to Lellingeria oreophila (Maxon) A.R.Sm. & R.C.Moran , endemic to Colombia . Lellingeria jimenezii differs from that by its smaller, reddish brown, lanceolate rhizome scales 1–2 mm long ( vs . 4–6 mm ), subcoriaceous blades, dark sclerenchyma visible on the rachises abaxially, 8–12 pairs of sori per segment ( vs . 6–8 pairs), and sori not restricted to the distal portion of the segments ( Labiak 2013 ). It also has dorsiventral, short-creeping rhizomes; many species of Lellingeria have suberect to erect, radially symmetric rhizomes.
