Cyathea rojasiana is a species of tree fern endemic to Panama. [1]
It can grow 2 m tall. [2] Seemingly dead, senescent fronds can root once they touch the ground. [3] [4]
It was first described as Cyathea panamensis A.Rojas by Alexander Francisco Rojas Alvarado in 2001. However, this was a Nomen illegitimum. Therefore, it was later published as Cyathea rojasiana Lehnert by Marcus Lehnert in 2011. [1] [4]
It occurs in the tropical montane forest of Panama. [4]
