Elaphoglossum eatonianum (E.Britton) C.Chr., Index Filic. View in CoL 306. 1905. ( Fig. 30A–H View FIGURE 30 )

= Acrostichum eatonianum E.Britton, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 15: 252. 1888.

= Polypodium vittariiforme Rosenst., Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 5: 235. 1908.

Range: —Endemic to Bolivia (BE, CO, LP, SC).

Ecology: —Fairly common; epiphyte with pendant leaves in humid forests, sometimes forming dense “curtains”; 625–2550 m.

Notes: —The similar E. vittarioides Mickel from Peru may occur in Bolivia. It differs from E. eatonianum in having tan, lax marginal cilia on the rhizome scales ( vs. short, brown ones) and shorter costal scales.
