Lindsaea quadrangularis Raddi, Opusc. Sci. View in CoL 3: 294. 1819.
Range: —West Indies; southern Mexico to Colombia; Bolivia (BE, CO, SC); southeastern Brazil and adjacent Paraguay. Rojas-Alvarado & Tejero-Díez (2017) excluded this species from Mexico and Mesoamerica, described several new lindsaeas, and elevated L. quadrangularis subsp. subalata K.U.Kramer to species status [as L. subalata (K.U.Kramer) A.Rojas & Tejero ]; we believe the latter represents a minor variation within L. quadrangularis .
Ecology:— Local and uncommon; terrestrial in humid forests; to 700 m in Bolivia, to 1500 m elsewhere .
Notes:— Differs from L. arcuata by having less elongate pinnules and darker axes, and from L. portoricensis by shorter-stalked pinnae, continuous pale margins on the abaxial sides of the secondary rachises, abaxially mostly angular petioles, and narrower, entire indusia. Four subspecies have been recognized, but it is unclear to which one the Bolivian specimens belong.
Lindsaea pallida Klotzsch , from Venezuela to central Brazil, may occur in eastern Bolivia. It differs from L. quadrangularis by its pale axes and more strongly erose indusia.
