Justification

This species is commonly confused with A. aureum, and the limits of its distribution are not well-known. However, as it appears to have a wide distribution range and occurs in similar areas where A. aureum is found it is presumably not under any threat and hence it is listed as Least Concern. More research is needed on this species distribution, population status, habitat requirements and threats.

Notes

Comments

Learn more about this article

These species frequently can be distinguished by the distribution of pinnae, the distribution of fertile pinnae, the shape of the costal areoles, and the structure of the paraphyses. In parts of Florida, their distributions are contiguous and abruptly separated by habitat. Acrosticum aureum is more frequently found in coastal shaded areas, in saline black-mangrove communities, and in the southern and southwestern parts of the state. Acrostichum danaeifolium grows vigorously in full sun and is common and widely distributed in Florida, where it has been collected in virtually every county throughout the southern two-thirds of the state. Hybrids have been produced in the laboratory, although these have not been analyzed cytologically. Hybrids are apparently rare in the field and have been reported only in the Dominican Republic (I. García de López 1978).
