Asplenium flabellulatum
Kunze, Linnaea
9: 71. 1834
.
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
.
