Lindsaea taeniata K.U.Kramer, Acta Bot. Neerl. 6: 208, fig. 62. 1957.

Range:— Amazonian Colombia to Bolivia (CO) ( Smith et al. 1999) and western Brazil.

Ecology:— Locally fairly common; terrestrial in humid forests, to 700 m.

Notes:— All other Bolivian species of the genus have entirely dimidiate pinnae. Petioles stramineous to pale brown, sometimes darker at the bases, adaxially rounded to obtusely angular; blades 2-pinnate; pinnules with definite central midveins in the distal halves; sori on both sides of the pinnae.

A juvenile specimen from CO (Weigelt 90085, AAU, GOET) may represent Lindsaea phassa K.U.Kramer (H. Tuomisto, pers. comm.), an Amazonian species that differs from L. taeniata by having broader, less elongate pinnules that are less falcate ( Kramer 1991).
