Leaves broadly ovate, margins plane. Specialized asexual reproduction by massive, brown, elliptic to spheric, many-celled gemmae occurring singly or very few together in distal leaf axils, of up to 50 cells, 95–300 µm.


Habitat: Soil

Alta., Mexico, West Indies (Dominican Republic), Central America (Panama), South America (Colombia).

Discussion

Variety gregaria is known in the flora area from only two, nonfruiting collections (see R. H. Zander 1979). The costa in the Alberta collection ends before the rounded apex; Mexican specimens generally have, however, apiculate leaves like those of the typical variety.
