Phlebodium decumanum (Willd.) J.Sm., J. Bot. (Hooker) View in CoL 4: 59. 1841.
= Polypodium decumanum Willd., Sp. Pl. , ed. 4 [Willdenow], 5: 170. 1810.
Range: —Greater and Lesser Antilles; southern Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela, south to Bolivia (BE, CO, LP, PA, SC), Paraguay, and Brazil. The species has significant anti-carcinogenic pharmacological potential (Grindling et al. 2009).
Ecology: —Very common; epiphytic in humid forests; often on palms, rarely terrestrial or on stream banks; 150– 900(1450) m.
Notes: —Generally a larger species than P. pseudoaureum . Phlebodium aureum (L.) J.Sm. may occur in Bolivia; it is a tetraploid (fertile allopolyploid)—the result of probable hybridization between diploids P. decumanum and P. pseudoaureum —and has 2 or 3 rows of sori between the costae and pinna margins. Compared to P. decumanum , the areoles and venation P. aureum are more irregularly arranged.
