Discusión taxonómica
The greatly reduced proximal pinna pairs, great number of pinnae, short stipes, and narrow, short pinnae with truncate to subcordate bases characterize this species. Lomariopsis fendleri D. C. Eaton (Mem. Amer. Acad. Arts, ser. 2, 8: 195. 1860), based on Fendler 335 (syntypes YU!, 3 sheets, collected on two dates; isosyntype K, frag. NY!) from Edo. Vargas, Venezuela, was considered by Tryon and Tryon (1982: 610) and R. Tryon and Stolze (1991) to be an earlier name for this species, but Moran (in Davidse et al., 1995: 284) indicated that the name L. fendleri should be restricted to plants occurring from Costa Rica, Trinidad, and Venezuela to Bolivia. It differs from L. vestita in having broader blades and proximal pinnae little or not reduced.A
