Lomariopsis kunzeana (C. Presl ex L. Underwood) Holttum. Common name: Climbing Holly Fern, Vine Fern. Phenology: Jun-Sep. Habitat: Sinkholes, rockland hammocks. Distribution: S. peninsular FL; West Indies (Cuba, Haiti, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico).

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: Moran in FNA (1993b) discussed differences in FL plants as compared to those in the West Indies: "Plants from Florida differ from those of Cuba and Hispaniola by their smaller size and more deeply serrate sterile pinnae. Unlike all other species in the genus, the Florida plants rarely climb trees and freely produce fertile leaves from the terrestrial stem." Additional study is needed.
