Range:— Antilles; southern Mexico to Bolivia (BE, CO, LP) and Brazil . Ecology:— Common; terrestrial, often on slopes and ravine banks, in humid forests; 650–2400 m (down to sea level elsewhere). Notes:— Asplenium radicans L. s.l. (an historically confusing species comprising several distinct taxa), from Mexico to Peru and Brazil , has been cited for Bolivia ( Foster 1958 ), but we have not seen specimens; however, its presence is likely. It has deeply pinnate-pinnatifid to barely 2-pinnate blade dissection intermediate between A. cirrhatum and A. flabellulatum . The rhizome scales are shorter (2–3 vs. 3–5 mm long) and the indusia longer (4–5 vs. 1–4 mm long) than in A. flabellulatum and A. uniseriale .
