Zygophlebia dudleyi L.E.Bishop, Amer. Fern J. View in CoL 79(3): 113(–115), f. 2. 1989.

= Grammitis dudleyi (L.E.Bishop) Stolze, Fieldiana, Bot. View in CoL , n.s., 32: 92. 1993.

Range: —Central Peru to Bolivia (LP).

Ecology: —Uncommon and local, known from six Bolivian collections; epiphytic in humid forests; 2800–3350 m.

Notes: —Rhizome scales light brown; veins partly free, but very hard to see due to the thick blade texture.

Zygophlebia werffii L.E.Bishop , from southern Ecuador and central Peru, may occur in Bolivia. It differs from Z. dudleyi by its terrestrial habit, erect leaves with thick, black petioles, densely short-hairy rachises, and ciliate rhizomes scales and from Ceradenia species by its erect, completely pinnate leaves with areolate veins and closely spaced, narrow pinnae. We now believe that Z. werffii is really a Ceradenia , but no combination in that genus exists; an Ecuadorian collection of this species has the characteristic, whitish, Ceradenia -like glands, and the plant looks much more like a typical Ceradenia , subg. Filicipecten , than a Zygophlebia .
