Serpocaulon wagneri (Mett.) A.R.Sm. View in CoL , Taxon 55(4): 929. 2006.

= Polypodium wagneri Mett., Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. , sér. 2, (5)2: 255. 1864.

Range:— Costa Rica to Guyana, Bolivia (BE), and Brazil.

Ecology:— Rare in Bolivia, confined to humid forests in Amazonian lowlands at 200 m where it is epiphytic on tree trunks, or crotches of trees, 10 m from ground, and in advanced secondary forests. The Chácobo Indians from the Bolivian portion of the range call this Xëqui Jahëhua ( Boom 4380, LPB, NY, US), or Mitaisa ( Boom 5050, LPB, NY) ( Sanín et al. 2023).

Notes:— A widespread species, but apparently rare in Bolivia, distinguished by having subulate, dense scales and comparatively narrow blades.

Sanín et al. (2023) listed the following specimens for Bolivia: Beni: Vaca Díez, vicinity of the Chácobo village Alto Ivon, 200 m, 11°45’ S, 66°02’ W, Boom 4380 (LPB, NY*), 5050 (LPB, NY*).
