Treatment

Cyathea dombeyi (Desv.) Lellinger, Amer. Fern J. View in CoL 77: 94. 1987 [1988].

= Alsophila bulligera Rosenst., Repert. View in CoL Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 25: 57. 1928.

Range: — Peru, Bolivia (CO, LP).

Ecology: —Rare in perhumid montane rainforests, regular in the understory; 700–1400 m.

Notes: —Belongs to a species complex around Cyathea pungens , which see for further discussion.

Cyathea gibbosa (Klotzsch) Domin, Pteridophyta 262. 1929.

= Cyathea kalbreyeri (Baker) Domin of auctt., non Lehnert (2014).

Range: —Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia (LP, SC); Guyana.

Ecology: —Rare in warm montane rainforests, in the understory. Apparently restricted to sandstone and specific microclimatic conditions, thus occurrences are geographically remote, but where found plants can be ubiquituous; 750–900 m.

Notes: —In a nomenclatural shuffling, the species long known as Cyathea kalbreyeri became C. gibbosa , and the species previously known as C. gibbosa was typified as C. farinosa (H.Karst.) Domin ( Lehnert 2014) . The true C. kalbreyeri is a slender-stemmed understory tree fern occurring in northern Colombia and probably adjacent Panama (F. Giraldo Gallego, pers. comm.; Lehnert et al., unpublished data).
