Some plants believed to be I. cookii were collected, but their identity is unconfirmed. The plants were sterile, so only vegetative characters were available, and their reliability is uncertain. An examination of the specimens suggests that they are not I. cookii (that is, they are not conspecific with the type specimen), but it is unclear to which species they may belong. On February 29, 2012 Service biologist visited Monte Jayuya in Toro Negro. Dicember 2016 species population was monitored by Fairchild in Cerro Punta and Monte Jayuya. On February 2017, population at Monte Guilarte and Cerro Punta were montiored and surveyed. 2014-2019: Fairchild worked with seven federally listed Puerto Rican fern species (including P. calderonense and C. dryopteroides) in 2014-2019, with funding and significant technical support from the USFWS, Caribbean Ecological Services Office under Cooperative Agreement F14AC01201. As a result of that work, additional plants were discovered, microhabitats were characterized, propagation techniques were developed, ex situ collections were established, spores were cryogenically stored, and taxonomic uncertainties were made clearer (through work by subcontracted University of Florida scientists). 2020-2022- Known habitat of I. cookii and C.dryopteroides at Cerro Punta and Monte Jayuya have been visited by PRDNER, FWS, and Fairchild. Individuals of both species were found. 2022- PRDNER found around 72 individuals at Cerro Jayuya, 31 individuals at Cerro Punta, and 14 individuals between Cero Punta and Cerro Jayuya. Fairchild and FWS visited C. drypteroides populations at Cerro Jayuya and Cerro Punta.. were unable to access MOnte Guilarte population . FY20- More than 24 C. dryopteroides are being cared for in the nursery at Fairchild 2021-2024 - New populations have been found by PRDNER. They are still assessing the species habitat to see if more individuals are found within Toro Negro Commonwealth Forest | ||||||||||||

Install planting of less than 5 Cyathea at garden/university setting. COntinue to propagate from spores collected in 2014. 2021-2022- Collection of spores by Fairchild and installation of dataloggers on wild population sites and possible reintroduction sites 2023-2024- Although efforts have been completed for an ex-situs population, cultivation of the elfin tree fern has been difficult and unsuccessful. A goal of this initiative is to opportunistically reintroduce 50 individuals of the elfin tree fern within prime habitat, this will be done by close collaboration with Fairchild and their propagated material. Currently efforts are being concentrated in the propagation of elfin tree ferns and shipping the material to Puerto Rico | ||||||||||||
