Lindsaea falcata Dryand., Trans. Linn. Soc. London View in CoL 3: 41, t. 7, f. 2. 1797.
= Lindsaea lancea (L.) Bedd. var. falcata (Dryand.) Rosenst., Hedwigia 46: 79. 1906.
Range:— Panama to the Guianas, northern Brazil, and Bolivia (CO, LP). Rojas-Alvarado & Tejero-Díez (2017) questioned the occurrence of this species in Panama.
Ecology:— Rare; terrestrial, sometimes on rotting logs, in humid forests; to 850 m, to 1500 m elsewhere.
Notes:— Often treated as a variety of Lindsaea lancea (e.g., by Kramer 1957), but more recent studies ( Tuomisto 1998, Lehtonen et al. 2010) suggest this entity warrants species status. Lindsaea falcata differs from L. lancea var. lancea by having 1-pinnate blades with pinnae to 45 × 20 mm ( vs. to 37 × 14 mm), to 3 times as long as wide, and distal segments little or not reduced, strongly asymmetric ( vs. roughly symmetric).
