Megalastrum (Dryopteridaceae) in Andean South America, Patr I

並列摘要


We recognize 46 species of Megalastrum in the Andean region of South America. This is the highest diversity of any region for the genus. Of these species, 38(83%) are endemic to the region. Keys, descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, nomenclatural information, specimens examined, index to collectors' names, and number are provided. Nineteen new species are described: M. clathratum, M. decompositum, M. fimbriatum, M. fugaceum ," M. ga/apagense", "M. insigne," "M. miscellum," "M. nanum," "M. nigromarginatum," "M. obtusum, M. oellgaardii," M. "oreophilum," M." peruvianum, M." po/ybotryoides", M." praetermissum," M. "pubirhachis, M. "rhachisquamatum", M. subtile, and M. tepuiense. A new combination is made for M. fibrillosum, and lectotypes are designated for Aspidium araguata, Dryopteris villosu/a, D. villosu/a var. inaequalis, D. wolfii, D. subincisa var. bogotensis, Mega/astrum acrosorum, M. moJ/icoma, M. squamosissimum, and Nephrodium subglabrum. The elevation range for the genus is 250--3500 m, with most species occurring at middle elevations from roughly 800-2000 m. Only four species occur in the Tepui region of southern Venezuela and northern Brazil: M. biseria/e, M. crenulans, M. oreophi/um, and M. tepuiense (endemic).
