Foug. 5[Gen. Filic.]: 258. 1852. = Polypodium ophiocaulon Kunze ex Klotzsch, Linnaea 20: 401. 1847 . Range: — Colombia and Venezuela to Bolivia (CO, LP, SC). Ecology: —Common, low epiphyte in undisturbed montane forests; 750–3200 m . Notes: —Notable for the very long-creeping, narrow, non-pruinose, twining rhizomes. The venation is regular, with included excurrent veinlets not dividing the areoles. It generally occurs at somewhat higher elevations than the closely related C. repens , from which it differs by rhizome scales with obtuse apices ( vs . acuminate).
