D25987A7FFC85B46F7B1FD18FA317ABB.taxon	description	Recent studies have uncovered substantial cryptic diversity among the northern hemisphere members of Botrychium, often combined with hybridization and polyploidy (Wagner & Wagner 1983, Wagner et al. 1984 b, Hauk 1995, Hauk & Haufler 1999, Hauk et al. 2012, Dauphin et al. 2014). Furthermore, many species populations are geographically isolated from each other; this often results in high levels of intragametophytic selfing and vegetative reproduction, leading to marked geographical genetic variation within species that is also reflected in morphological variation (Soltis & Soltis 1986, Farrar & Johnson-Groh 1990, Watano & Sahashi 1992, Camacho & Liston 2001).	en	Kessler, Michael, Smith, Alan R.

D25987A7FFC85B46F7B1FAD8FAE0787F.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology: — Locally fairly common; terrestrial in humid to semihumid forests and scrub (Young & León 1993); 1800 – 3100 m, to sea level elsewhere. One of the world’s most ecologically adaptable fern species. Notes: — There is considerable variation in the length of the fertile spikes and the dissection of the sterile blades, and several varieties or subspecies have been recognized by some authors. There is evidence that Botrypus has undergone gene transfer with a parasitic angiosperm through shared mycorrhizal partners (Davis et al. 2005).	en	Kessler, Michael, Smith, Alan R.

D25987A7FFC85B46F7B1F8F5FCA27677.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology: — Uncommon to locally fairly common; epiphytic in humid forests, mostly on moss-covered tree trunks or large branches (Ibisch et al. 1995); (200) 1000 – 2500 m.	en	Kessler, Michael, Smith, Alan R.

D25987A7FFCB5B45F7B1FBBAFF697BE1.taxon	description	Range: — Southeastern U. S. A. and Mexico to Brazil and Argentina; Greater Antilles; Africa; tropical Asia; Australia. In Bolivia, recorded from BE, CH, CO, LP, SC, and TA, but with mostly only single records in each department.	en	Kessler, Michael, Smith, Alan R. (2017): Prodromus of a fern flora for Bolivia. V.

D25987A7FFCB5B45F7B1FBBAFF697BE1.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology: — Uncommon, or at least uncommonly collected; terrestrial flooded savannas in the Beni lowlands, and in humid high-elevation meadows and pastures; to 4000 m. Notes: — A variable species in which seven ill-defined varieties are sometimes recognized (Clausen 1938, Wagner et al. 1984 a).	en	Kessler, Michael, Smith, Alan R. (2017): Prodromus of a fern flora for Bolivia. V. Ophioglossaceae. Phytotaxa 327 (1): 90-94, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.327.1.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.327.1.4
D25987A7FFCB5B45F7B1FA7EFF7D781D.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology: — Uncommon; terrestrial in humid, grassy habitats, flooded pastures, roadsides, and open forests; to 2200 (3800) m. Notes: — A variable species, with the highest chromosome number known in the Plant Kingdom, 2 n = 1440 (Ghatak 1977).	en	Kessler, Michael, Smith, Alan R.

D25987A7FFCB5B45F7B1F97AFA2F796D.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology: — Fairly common; terrestrial in open, grassy areas, in Polylepis forests, and in salty swamps; 2840 – 4250 m.	en	Kessler, Michael, Smith, Alan R. (2017): Prodromus of a fern flora for Bolivia. V. Ophioglossaceae. Phytotaxa 327 (1): 90-94, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.327.1.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.327.1.4
D25987A7FFCA5B44F7B1FF4CFA837FF0.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology: — Uncommon and often overlooked; terrestrial in high-elevation scrub or tall grasslands; 2300 – 3850 m, down to 1800 m elsewhere. Notes: — Botrychium australe R. Br., from Argentina and Chile, may occur in southern Bolivia. It differs from B. schaffneri by its more fleshy blades with the three major segments long-stalked and somewhat pilose axes.	en	Kessler, Michael, Smith, Alan R.
