A terrestrial fern endemic to Ecuador, where it is known only from three collections. One of them is in the Reserva Geobotnica Pululahua, Pichincha province, and the other two are in Imbabura and Tungurahua provinces. The species may have a larger distribution range than the collection record suggests, because it is very similar to B. occidentale, which is common and consequently often ignored by collectors. No specimens of this species are housed in Ecuadorian museums. Habitat destruction is the only known threat to the species.

A terrestrial fern endemic to Ecuador, where it is known from three Andean locales. One of them, San Pablo, in Bolvar province, has been disturbed and transformed into cropland since the collection. The other two locales, San Florencio and Canchacoto, are still surrounded by forest remnants. The taxonomic status of the species is uncertain, due to the missing type specimen. No specimens of this species are housed in Ecuadorian museums. Habitat destruction is the only known threat to the species.
