.
Range:
—
Peru
,
Bolivia
(CO, LP).
Ecology:
—Rare in perhumid montane rainforests, regular in the understory;
700–1400 m
.
Notes:
—Belongs to a species complex around
Cyathea pungens
, which see for further discussion.
Cyathea gibbosa

Cyathea kalbreyeri
(Baker) Domin
of auctt., non
Lehnert (2014)
.
Range:
—Andes from
Venezuela
to
Bolivia
(LP, SC);
Guyana
.
Ecology:
—Rare in warm montane rainforests, in the understory. Apparently restricted to sandstone and specific microclimatic conditions, thus occurrences are geographically remote, but where found plants can be ubiquituous;
750–900 m
.
Notes:
—In a nomenclatural shuffling, the species long known as
Cyathea kalbreyeri
became
C. gibbosa
, and the species previously known as
C. gibbosa
was typified as
C. farinosa
(H.Karst.) Domin (
Lehnert 2014
)
. The true
C. kalbreyeri
is a slender-stemmed understory tree fern occurring in northern
Colombia
and probably adjacent
Panama
(F. Giraldo Gallego, pers. comm.; Lehnert
