16. Cyathea acutidens (Christ) Domin (1929: 264) View in CoL . Alsophila acutidens Christ (1906: 186) . Alsophila leucolepis var. pubescens Christ (1901: 42) . Type:— COSTA RICA. Cañas Gordas, February 1897, Pittier 10992 (lectotype P, designated here, isolectotype US). Paratypes: Same locality, Pittier 10981 (UC, US), 10989 (P, US)

Distribution and habitat: — Costa Rica, expected from adjacent Panama. 1100–1800 m.

Remarks: — Rojas (2001) considered Cyathea leucolepis (as C. amazonica Moran 1995: 53 ) to be conspecific with C. acutidens , which would extend the range of the species along the eastern slopes of the Andes. This view is not followed here.
