Elaphoglossum lasioglottis Mickel, Fieldiana, Bot. , n.s. 27: 139. 1991. ( Fig. 39R–W )

Range: —Andes from Colombia to Bolivia (CO, LP).

Ecology: —Uncommon; saxicolous on rock faces, on road banks, and along streams, in humid forest habitats; 2000–3600(–4200) m.

Notes: —Most similar to E. cuspidatum and E. crassipes , but these are much larger species with rounder, more closely appressed blade scales, and usually a few dark scales scattered among the orange ones.
