Dryand., Trans. Linn. Soc. London 3: 42. 1797 . Range:— Greater Antilles; southern Mexico to Bolivia (LP, SC) and Brazil . Ecology:— Locally common; terrestrial among rocks, on sandstone, in wet sand, and on exposed ridges, in humid forest regions, accidentally as an epiphyte ( Obermuller et al . 2014 ); to 2400 m . Notes:— The Bolivian specimens can be assigned to var. stricta ; two other varieties occur in northern South America. Differs from Lindsaea portoricensis by broader indusia ( 0.3–0.5 mm vs . ca. 0.3 mm wide). Petioles stramineous to pale reddish brown, abaxially rounded; blades 1- to 2- (rarely 3-) pinnate; rachises abaxially rounded to angular (but without pale wings); pinnules coriaceous with hidden veins, roundish to 1.5 times longer than wide; distal segments gradually reduced; indusia strongly erose, 0.3–0.5 mm wide.
