Trichomanes elegans Rich., Actes Soc. Hist. Nat. Paris View in CoL 1: 114. 1792.
= Davalliopsis elegans (Rich.) Copel., Philipp. J. Sci. View in CoL 67(1): 82. 1938.
Range: —Lesser Antilles; Nicaragua to Bolivia (BE, CO, LP) and Brazil.
Ecology: —Uncommon to locally fairly common; terrestrial and saxicolous, in humid forests, often in ravines on rocks, rarely epiphytic or on fallen logs, often growing with Abrodictyum rigidum ; to 1300 m.
Notes: —The iridescent blue-green sheen on living plants is caused by thin layers surrounding the chloroplasts; these layers transmit photosynthetically efficient red light and reflect blue light ( Moran 2004). This is an adaptation to poor light conditions in the forest understory.
