33. Cyathea parvula (Jenm.) Domin (1929: 264) View in CoL . Alsophila parvula Jenman (1879: 258) . Hemitelia parvula (Jenm.) Baker (1891: 188) . Type:— JAMAICA. Jenman 97 (holotype K, fragment & photo US, photo GH, photo NY). See Tryon (1976) for synonymy.
Distribution and habitat: —Greater Antilles, in forest understory and secondary growth, on various substrates including serpentine and limestone between 500–1200 m.
Remarks: — Cyathea parvula is unique in the group of C. multiflora by having adventitious buds that grow into geotropic shoots. Jamaican plants differ by shedding their old petioles from the trunk. In phylogenetic studies, C. parvula clusters with the C. armata group ( Korall et al. 2007), but this may be due to fragmentary sequences used in the analysis.
