Abstract

We provide a synopsis to the leptosporangiate fern family Anemiaceae in Bolivia. The single genus in the family, Anemia, comprises 115 species in the Neotropics, Africa, India, and islands in the Indian Ocean. Sixteen species are known from Bolivia, several of which are widespread in the Neotropics; one species, Anemia myriophylla, is endemic to Bolivia. Hybridization is likely when species co-occur.
