Loxogramme dictyopteris
Loxogramme dictyopteris (Mett.) Copel.
Loxogramme dictyopteris is a species in the fern family Polypodiaceae, native to the Chatham Islands, as well as the North and South Islands of New Zealand. It was first described in 1929 by Copel., based on earlier work by Mett.
Description
This fern species belongs to the genus Loxogramme and is part of the Polypodiaceae family, commonly known as the polypody family. It is found in three distinct regions: the Chatham Islands and both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The species was formally published in 1929 by Copel., who revised the original description provided by Mett. Its occurrence in these geographically separated locations suggests a potentially fragmented distribution, which may be influenced by the unique ecological conditions of each region.
