Radula fendleri
Gottsche ex Steph.
Chiriqui
:
Loc.
21
, epiphytic in cloud forest,
1700 m
,
34442
.
Widespread in the West Indies and northern South America (
Colombia
,
Venezuela
,
Ecuador
,
Brazil
,
Suriname
); new to Central America.
The specimen is corresponding to
R. fendleri
according to the key presented by
Yamada (1988: 383)
, not to
R. saccatiloba
Steph.
which was considered synonymous with
R. fendleri
by
Gradstein & Hekking (1989)
. In a recent molecular study (
Devos et al. 2011
) these two species were nested in different clades and were assigned to two different subgenera.
