Macrothelypteris torresiana (Gaudich.) Ching, Acta Phytotax. Sin. View in CoL 8: 310. 1963.
Range: —Southeastern USA; Antilles; Mexico to Bolivia (BE, CH, CO, LP, SC, TA), northern Argentina, Paraguay, and southern Brazil; tropical and subtropical Africa and Asia; Pacific Islands; first collected in Bolivia in 1980.
Ecology:— Common, widely naturalized; terrestrial along forest edges, roadsides, and stream margins, somewhat weedy; to 1700(–2200) m.
Notes:— Superficially, this is most similar to unrelated genera such as Ctenitis , Megalastrum , and Lastreopsis ( Dryopteridaceae ), from which it differs by having hyaline, acicular hairs abaxially on the blades, two vascular bundles in the petioles, and axes rounded or flattened adaxially (costae and rachises lacking grooves).
