|discussion=<p>Commonly found in montane tropical rainforests, the epiphytic Polypodium triseriale is quite distinct from and probably only distantly related to other North American members of Polypodium. It seems likely that spores are occasionally blown into southern Florida, probably from the West Indies, and plants develop as naturalized populations.</p>
