Tectaria lizarzaburui (Sodiro) C.Chr., Index Filic., Suppl. 3, 181. 1934.

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

Ecology: —Rare and local; terrestrial in humid forests; 1000–2000 m.

Notes: —The Bolivian specimens are larger and more strongly divided than specimens from the northern Andes, and it is uncertain if they are conspecific with the type (from Colombia). Kessler 11443 (UC), cited by Smith et al. (1999) as first record of T. lizarzaburui for Bolivia, is here placed under T. pascoensis , but since then other specimens have been collected that are here assigned to this species. A hybrid involving T. lizarzaburui was described from Costa Rica by Rojas-Alvarado (2004).
