Abstract
Lehnert, M. (Albrecht-von-Haller Institut, Abt. Systematische Botanik, Universitat Gottingen, Untere Karspule 2, 37073 Gottingen, Germany; e-mail: marlehnert@yahoo.com). Reconsideration of Alsophila odonelliana (Cyatheaceae), an Andean tree fern. Brittonia 57: 228-236. 2005. Two Andean tree fern species formerly united are hereby distinguished: Alsophila incana from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, and Alsophila odonelliana from southern Bolivia and northern Argentina. New descriptions of both species as well as illustrations of important characters are given. Vegetative reproduction by means of stolons is reported for an Andean species of the genus for the first time.
