Ferns and Lycophytes of PNN Las Orquídeas Colombia

by

Parque Nacional Naturaleza Las Orquídeas covers 32 000 hectares in Antioquia, Colombia.  Varying in elevation from 350 to 3400 m along the Cordillera Occidental, it resides within the Chocó bioregion (Chocó biogeográfico), one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth.  The park is isolated and has received little previous attention from researchers. Currently, the park is  the focus of a major biological inventory focused on plant diversity supported by the US National Science Foundation, conducted by Paola Pedraza (The New York Botanical Garden) and Julio Betancur (Universidad Nacional de Colombia).  The following list is compiled from my collections of ferns and lycophytes collected in the park. This is a work in progress.  In the future, I will add all known records of ferns and lycophytes from this area.

Parablechnum lechleri

Parablechnum lechleri

Among the terrestrial dimorphic species of Blechnum in the Andes, P. lechleri is distinguished by its elongate vermiform aerophores that emerge from the mucilage present on young developing leaves. It is most similar to P. cordatum, but that species is characterized...
