|discussion=<p><i>Dennstaedtia bipinnata</i> was first found in Florida in 1926 around Lake Okeechobee (J. K. Small 1938). These populations have been extirpated and have been replaced by sugar cane and other agriculture. Populations in Seminole County may be naturalized. The species has been reported as occurring in Okeechobee County. Collections made in the 1920s from Palm Beach County suggest that this species may be native, although <i>Pteris tripartita</i> Swartz, which is definitely naturalized, was also collected in that region at that time.</p>
