Abstract
-
The section Polytrichia subsection Apoda Mickel & Atehortua comprises eight species, all of which are Neotropical in distribution (West Indies, Central America and northern South America). Results of morphological and chemical investigations of the Elaphoglossum apodum complex are presented. The comparative research is summarized in a diagram showing the probable evolutionary relationships within the subsection. A taxonomic revision is presented including keys, descriptions, illustrations and discussion of the taxa. Two new species Elaphoglossum amazonicum and Elaphoglossum latum are described.
