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