Distribution
Known distribution: Antilles, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, United States of America and Venezuela ( Moran 1995b). Fig. 19.
Ecology
Occurs as terrestrial or rupestrial in montane wet and seasonal forests.
Taxon discussion
This is a very common species in Central America, also occurring in northern South America. It can be recognized by peltate indusia and entire pinnae or lobes ( Moran 1995b). The closest species is Tectaria incisa Cav., from which T. heracleifolia can be distinguished by peltate indusia, cordiform bases of pinnae and apical segment and smaller number of pinnae ( Moran 1995b).
