Elaphoglossum nidiforme Mickel, Fieldiana, Bot. View in CoL , n.s., 27: 148. 1991. ( Fig. 40G–L View FIGURE 40 )
Range: — Ecuador to Bolivia (CO, LP).
Ecology: —Uncommon; epiphytic in humid forests; 700–2000 m.
Notes: —Although it resembles some members of sect. Elaphoglossum , molecular phylogenetic evidence places this species in sect. Squamipedia ( Rouhan et al. 2007, Vasco et al. 2015). The thin, light orange to brown scales on petioles and costal bases, as well as the echinulate spores, are typical of sect. Squamipedia ( Moran et al. 2007). Elaphoglossum nidiforme is a nest-forming epiphyte, with short-petiolate leaves arranged in a basket or funnel that captures falling leaf litter and other debris from the canopy.
