Abstract

We provide a synopsis to the monogeneric family Nephrolepidaceae in Bolivia, including five native species and two possibly naturalized ones. The family is distinctive in its wiry, often subterranean stolons, blade aspects, cleanly abscising pinnae, lime-dotted hydathodes, and several other characters.
