Asplenium feei Kunze ex Fée, Mém. Foug. View in CoL 5: 194. 1852.
Range:— Antilles; southern Mexico to Bolivia (BE, CO, LP) and Brazil.
Ecology:— Uncommon; epiphytic, sometimes terrestrial, in humid forests; 950–2000 m (down to sea level elsewhere). This is one of several fern species that are limited to mountain forests in Bolivia but reach the lowlands in more humid regions such as western Amazonia or the Colombian Choco region (Kessler 2001), indicating that their lower elevational distribution is determined by water availability rather than temperature ( Kluge et al. 2006).
Notes:— Perhaps conspecific with African A. anisophyllum Kunze ( Smith 1993, Moran & Smith 2001).
