Mickelia nicotianifolia is a species of fern in the family Dryopteridaceae, subfamily Elaphoglossoideae. ^[2] It has a widespread distribution in Central America and northern South America. ^[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Olof Swartz in 1806 as Acrostichum nicotianifolium. ^[3] It has since been placed in several other genera, including Mickelia . ^[1] In 1995, Robbin C. Moran and Benjamin Øllgaard described a new species from Ecuador as Bolbitis riparia. ^[4] Under this name, it was considered to be endemic to Ecuador and threatened. ^[5] However, in 2010, Moran et al. treated Bolbitis riparia as a synonym of Mickelia nicotianifolia, ^[6] a widespread species. ^[1]
