Range: —Southern Mexico through Mesoamerica to southeastern Venezuela and Guyana, Suriname, northern Brazil, and along the eastern side of the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia (BE, CO, LP, PA, SC).
Ecology: —Fairly common; epiphytic, often on twigs of bushes and in the outer tree canopy, in humid forests; 200–1400 m.
Notes: —This taxon was previously recognized as a variety of Microgramma tecta , a species endemic to eastern Brazil. It is being recognized here as a distinct species based on differences in the indument and geographic distribution ( Almeida 2014, Almeida et al. in prep.). Microgramma nana can be distinguished from M. tecta by its subulate blade scales, these usually geniculate, rarely applanate ( vs. blade scales with triangular bases and lanceate tips, applanate) and hairlike paraphyses ( vs. lanceolate paraphyses).
