Hymenophyllum cordobense ( Hieron.) C. Larsen & Arana, Phytotaxa View in CoL 303(3): 228(–229), f. 1A–B. 2017.

= Hymenophyllum tunbrigense (L.) Sm. var. cordobense Hieron., Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 22: 361. 1896.

Range:— Bolivia ( CH, CO, LP, SC, TA) to Argentina and Chile ( Larsen et al. 2017).

Ecology: —Moderately common; epiphytic, saxicolous, and terrestrial in semihumid and humid forests; 1500– 3100 m. In Argentina, this species is said to inhabit hyper-humid highland grasslands (“Pastizales de altura”), caves, and rock shelters in Prov. Cordoba ( Larsen et al. 2017). Associated ferns were said by Larsen et al. to be Hymenophyllum crispum and H. capurroi , Elaphoglossum piloselloides (C.Presl) Desv. , and Melpomene peruviana (Desv.) A.R.Sm. & R.C.Moran.

Notes: —This species is closely related to Hymenophyllum tunbrigense , which is often considered subcosmopolitan in distribution. In the New World, that species has been considered to occur in the U.S.A. ( South Carolina), Antilles, southern Mexico to Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile. In the Old World, H. tunbrigense has been ascribed a broad range in western Europe, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
