|
Hymenophyllaceae | Trichomanes galeottii | | Cypress swamps, on knees, logs, and sometimes stumps, under a canopy of Taxodium and especially where there is a dense subcanopy of Chyrsobalanus icaco beneath Taxodium, with abundant Telmatoblechnum serrulatum in understory. | Big Cypress National Reserve, s. peninsular FL (J.

Hymenophyllaceae | Trichomanes holopterum | Entire-winged Bristle Fern | Cypress swamps, on knees, logs, and sometimes stumps, under a canopy of Taxodium and especially where there is a dense subcanopy of Chyrsobalanus icaco beneath Taxodium, with abundant Telmatoblechnum serrulatum in understory. | S. peninsular FL; West Indies; Mexico (CHP, YUC). |

Hymenophyllaceae | Vandenboschia | Filmy Fern | | | 
|
Hymenophyllaceae | Vandenboschia boschiana | Appalachian Filmy Fern | On rock outcrops, usually vertical or overhanging, usually in deeply shaded grottoes receiving seepage or spray from waterfalls. | W. VA, se. OH (Hocking Co.), s. IN, s. IL south to w. NC and nw. SC, n. GA, wc. AL (Hale County in the Coastal Plain; Yawn et al. 2024), and ne.

(2004) for more details on the first documented Virginia occurrence. |
