Hymenophyllum apiculatum Mett. ex Kuhn, Linnaea View in CoL 35: 391. 1868.
Range: —Andes from southeastern Venezuela to Bolivia (CO, LP).
Ecology: —Fairly common; epiphytic in humid forests, usually in the high canopy, rarely on fallen logs; 200–1350 m and 2400–3500 m.
Notes: —Involucres are 2 mm long, oblanceolate and with acute bases; they are noticeably clustered toward blade apices. Sporangia are ca. 0.5 mm in diameter, unusally large (suggesting the species might be polyploid), and with receptacles very stout and often slightly exserted. Fronds are small, 1–4(6) cm long. Bolivian collections come either from low or high elevations and are lacking from mid-elevations; this suggests that more than one species may be involved.
