Hymenophyllum speciosum Bosch, Ned. Kruidk. Arch. View in CoL 5: 181. 1859.

= Hymenophyllum spectabile Mett. ex Kuhn, Linnaea View in CoL 35: 392. 1867.

Range: — Peru to Bolivia (CO, LP, SC).

Ecology: —Common; pendent epiphyte, less commonly also on clay banks and cliffs, in humid forests; 1800– 3350 m.

Notes: —Blades are densely pubescent, with the hairs obscuring the veins and tissue, and the veins lack lamellae. Mature leaves may be up to 180 cm long and 9 cm wide. Hymenophyllum karstenianum J.W.Sturm , from Venezuela to Peru, is very closely related and may occur in Bolivia. It differs from H. speciosum by stalked, spreading (vs. sessile to short-stalked, tightly appressed) rachis hairs, smaller pinnae (1–2.3 cm vs. (2.5–) 3–8 cm long, and with 4–7 vs. 6–14 segment pairs), and less flexuous rachises.
