Distribution of Ophioglossum reticulatum L. in South America. A case of long-distance jump dispersal?

The objective of this exploratory work is to test the hypothesis that South American populations of Ophioglossum reticulatum L. derive from Africa. Spores cross the Atlantic transported by wind and arrive in South America in recurrent migration. Three-dimensional (backward and forward) trajectories...
