Cranfillia Gasper & V.A.O.Dittrich, Phytotaxa View in CoL 275(3): 207. 2016.
Cranfillia comprises ca. 9 species, all but two of them in Australasia (Polynesia, New Zeland, Australia, Melanesia); two species are South American, or largely so ( C. caudata extending into Costa Rica; the second species is C. sampaioana (R.Br.) Gasper & V.A.O.Dittrich , in southern Brazil). The genus is characterized by having long, acuminate rhizome apex and stipe base scales, strongly dimorphic fronds, rachises often with persistent, fine, acicular, uniseriate, hyaline hairs, and x = 33, 34. The sole Bolivian species is unique among neotropical Blechnaceae in having a long, flagelliform blade apex on sterile fronds; this terminates in a bud, which may root.
