Description

Elaphoglossum pumilio Mickel, Fieldiana, Bot., n.s., 27: 156. 1991. (Fig. 43F–N)

Range: —Northern Peru to Bolivia (LP).

Ecology: —Local and uncommon; terrestrial on roadbanks and clay banks in degraded vegetation in arid valleys, with Dodonaea viscosa Jacq.; 1850–2800 m.

Notes: —A small, coriaceous species of dry Andean valleys that differs from the commoner E. tenuiculum in showing distinct scale bodies on the abaxial blade scales.

Elaphoglossum rimbachii (Sodiro) Christ, Neue Denkschr. Allg. Schweiz. Ges. Gesammten Naturwiss. 36(1): 126, f. 70. 1899.

Range: — Ecuador to Bolivia (LP); range uncertain due to taxonomic complexity of this group.

Ecology: —Locally fairly common; epiphytic and saxicolous in humid forests; 2950–3300 m.

Notes: —It is uncertain if Bolivian material is conspecific with that from Ecuador, the source of the type. The application of this name differs from that used in Flora of Peru (Mickel 1991), where E. rimbachii was applied to the species here called E. casanense.
