Acknowledgments

We thank Dirk Karger for preparing most of the drawings, and Robbin C. Moran and two anonymous reviewers for their careful revision of the manuscript. Kessler’s field work in Bolivia and taxonomic work on Bolivian ferns is financially supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and would be impossible without the collaboration of the Herbario Nacional de Bolivia, especially Dr. Stephan G. Beck and Iván Jiménez.
