Bolbitis heteroclita

Distribution

Asia-Tropical, Caroline Is present, E. India present, Lesser Sunda Is absent, Melanesia present, Micronesia present, S. Japan present, Solomon Is present, Southern America: Argentina Northeast (Formosa present)
E. India to S. Japan, Formosa, and Indo-China; in Malesia: throughout, except for the Lesser Sunda Is.; also in Micronesia (Caroline Is.) and Melanesia (Solomon Is.).

Notes

The morphological variation is outstanding. Throughout its area forms with simple fronds occur, e.g. B. simplicifolia from higher elevations in Malaya. In the Philippines several distinct vegetatively propagating dwarfs occur, e.g. Edanyoa difformis and B. cuspidata. Autoploidisa- tion and hybridisation are common. Field studies are necessary to further unravel this aggregate.
