Selaginella anceps (C.Presl) C.Presl, Abh. Königl. Böhm. Ges. Wiss. View in CoL , ser. 5, 3: 581. 1845.

Range: — Costa Rica to Venezuela, northern Brazil ( Valdespino 2015a), and Bolivia (BE, CO, LP, SC).

Ecology: —Locally common; terrestrial in humid forests, also in secondary habitats; to 700 m.

Notes: — Selaginella lechleri Hieron. from Colombia to Peru, may occur in Bolivia. It differs from S. anceps by its basally denticulate ( vs. ciliolate) median leaves, and ascending to spreading ( vs. appressed) leaves on the main stems just beyond the first branches, so that near the axil of the first branch the stems and leaves are broader ( 4–5 mm vs. 1–3 mm wide).
