Cyathea divergens spores grow into a tree fern native to the wet tropical biome from Mexico south through Central America and the Andes to Bolivia, growing in humid montane and cloud forest habitats. Described by Kunze (Gustav Kunze, 1793–1851, German physician-botanist and professor of botany at Leipzig, a major contributor to pteridology). The epithet divergens means 'diverging', referring to the distinctively spreading, diverging arrangement of the pinnules on the frond. A typical Andean cloud forest tree fern.
