Diplazium wolfii is a provisional determination for this collection. It agrees with images of the type at B but differs from other material residing under this name at AAU [see http://herbarium.au.dk/database/] by having sub-acute instead of acute segment apices. If this name is correctly applied, it constitutes a new record for Colombia.
