Abstract
Cyathea delgadii Sternb. belongs to the Cyathea clade of the genus Cyathea, family Cyatheaceae, also known as Scaly Tree-Ferns. It is one of the many evergreen, non-seasonal tree-fern species from Central and South America, which grow in gallery, montane, cloud and rain forests, as well as in open locations and along paths in Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil.
