Abstract:

Abstract A new species of Elaphoglossum Schott in section Elaphoglossum subsect. Pachyglossa Christ is described and illustrated here. Elaphoglossum skutchianum A. Rojas is recognized from Costa Rica and Panama, and occurs at middle elevations in the Cordillera de Tilarán, Cordillera Central, and Cordillera de Talamanca. It is distinguished from the closely related E. brevissimum Mickel by its longer fronds. It is here proposed that E. lankesteri Mickel is a synonym of E. cismense Rosenst.Abstract A new species of Elaphoglossum Schott in section Elaphoglossum subsect.
