 ==Habitat and Distribution==
-Brazil North, Colombia, and Venezuela. From 1°50'N-1°05'S and 62°42'-69°20'W in the upper Rio Negro region of Brazil (Amazonas) and Venezuela (Amazonas) at (80-) 98 (-130) m elevation along the margins of black water rivers where the bases of the stems are underwater for several months of the year. Leopoldinia major appears to have a very patchy distribution (possibly a result of insufficient collecting); in Brazil it is known only from two localities along the Rio Negro, near Barcellos and near Santa Isabel; in Venezuela only along the Ríos Pasimoni-Yatua-Baria; and possibly the Río Papurí on the Colombian-Brazilian border. It may also occur on the Río Casiquiare; one specimen (Putz 179), not mapped, is labeled as coming from there but lacks a precise locality.

 Subspecific variation: - Given the confusion over the identity of Leopoldinia major in southern Venezuela (see Introduction), it is unfortunate that so few specimens from this region give any information on stem branching or pinnae aspect. Only one specimen (Steyermark 102454) describes these ("in colonies... leaves with drooping, subcoriaceous pinnae"). There is an image for a second specimen (Gentry 47344 at http://www.tropicos.org/) showing pendulous pinnae, but this is unclear on stem branching. However, one other specimen (Putz 179) is confusing in that the stems are reported to be "solitary (?)". This specimen is said to come from the Río Casiquiare, where no other specimens are known.
