Notes

Adiantum vogelii is a fairly large fern with developed creeping rhizome, up to 70 cm long, bearing piliform black scales of 2 to 3 mm long (Fig. 9a). The fronds are between 20 and 60 cm long and are closely spaced. The petiole is blackish, channeled, 5 to 25 cm long, usually angular, hairy. The rachis, not winged, is shaggy. The lamina is bipinnate, deltoid-lanceolate and measures 10-15 cm for 8-10 cm wide. Pinnae and pinnules are alternate. The lamina is composed of 2 to 4 pairs of lateral pinnae similar to the terminal, short-stalked, linear, 8-10 cm long and 2-3 cm wide, with deltoid apex, shortly tapered. The pinnae are rhomboid-dimidiate, with upper base incised on about 1/3 of its width. The lobes are truncated and toothed. The ribs are single or bifurcated towards the lower 1/3. The sori are crescent shaped (Fig. 9b). Adiantum vogelii generally grows in forests, on fairly moist and rich soils.
