Austroblechnum divergens, synonyms including Blechnum divergens, Blechnum rimbachii and Blechnum floresii, is a species of fern in the family Blechnaceae. [1]
Austroblechnum divergens in its broader circumscription is native from Mexico to southern Brazil. [1]
Some sources treat the taxon known by the synonym Blechnum rimbachii as a distinct species; [2] if so, it is endemic to Azuay Province, Ecuador (found 2,000 m above sea level), and is only known from an early 20th century collection. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss for agriculture. [3]
Similarly, the synonym Blechnum floresii is regarded as representing a separate species by some sources. If so, it is endemic to Ecuador, where it is known from only two locations in Pichincha Province. It grows in coastal forest habitat and the forests of the low Andes. It is threatened by habitat loss. [4]
Asplenium bifrons is a species of fern in the family Aspleniaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. It is known only from one population in Pichincha Province. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss for hydroelectric power.
Lomaridium dendrophilum, synonym Blechnum dendrophilum, is a species of fern in the family Blechnaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador and known only from Napo Province and Pichincha Province. It was first described by Luis Sodiro in the late 19th century. Although there are no known conservation measures, it has been recorded from Illinizas Ecological Reserve.
Parablechnum monomorphum, synonym Blechnum monomorphum is a species of fern in the family Blechnaceae. It is native to Colombia (Antioquia), Ecuador and Bolivia.
Blechnum petiolare is a species of fern in the family Blechnaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador and known only from Bolívar Province. When it was first described in the early 20th century, it was known from Chillanes but this area has been heavily disturbed and the species continues to be threatened.
Blechnum sociale is a species of fern in the family Blechnaceae. It is endemic to Pichincha Province and Azuay Province, Ecuador, but has not been recorded since 1893. The name sociale indicates that they form in colonies. It was first described by Sodiro in 1883. In 1893, Sodiro transferred it to Lomaria as Lomaria socialis. He said that the most similar species was Lomaria stipitellata, now placed in Parablechnum as Parablechnum stipitellatum. The status and taxonomy of Blechnum sociale was unclear as of 2003.
Campyloneurum oellgaardii is a species of fern in the family Polypodiaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Hymenophyllum nanum is a species of fern in the family Hymenophyllaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador, where it is known from two old collections in Pichincha Province. Its natural habitat is the forest of the lower Andes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
