Epífitas o terrestres; rizoma cortamente rastrero, con algunas escamas deltado-lanceoladas, hasta 5 mm de largo, sublustrosas; hojas más o menos agrupadas; pecíolo casi obsoleto, el tejido laminar decurrente hasta la base, articulado, pajizo a café; lámina angostamente elíptica a ampliamente oblanceolada, hasta 80 cm de largo y 6–12 cm de ancho, costa evidentemente visible sobre ambas superficies, base decurrente, ápice agudo, a veces cortamente acuminado, glabra; nervios claramente visibles en ambas superficies, formando 7–16 (–18) hileras de aréolas entre la costa y el margen.
Bosques húmedos y pluvioselvas; Rueda 14181, 17097; 0–1400 m; Florida hasta Bolivia y Brasil, las Bahamas, las Antillas. Caracteres relacionados con la venación han sido usados regularmente para separar esta especie de Campyloneurum brevifolium a la cual se asemeja bastante. Sin embargo, Lellinger (1988) señala que especímenes de Centro y Sudamérica muestran un inconstante patrón de venación lo que hace indispensable estudios más detallados que arrojen pruebas más contundentes que separen las dos especies. En las hojas maduras, C. phyllitidis generalmente presenta 2 hileras de soros entre los nervios principales, en tanto que C. brevifolium a menudo posee 1 ó 2 hileras adicionales de soros entre los nervios principales, pero desafortunadamente este carácter es también variable. Lo que Shimek (1897: p. 202, t. 10, f. 12, 13) presentó como Campyloneurum phyllitidis era en realidad una mezcla de C. brevifolium y C. costatum. NT

Campyloneurum phyllitidis grows from a short pubescent rhizome to 3 mm in diameter. Glabrous subsessile fronds numerous from the rhizome appearing as a rosette. Each frond linear, up to 120 cm in length and 8 cm wide, with an entire margin and acute apex. The round sori are arranged in rows parallel to the secondary veins along the abaxial surface. There is no indusium.
Campyloneurum phyllitidis grows as an epiphyte in sinkholes, wet shady areas in Dry Broadleaf Evergreen Formation – Forests (coppice).
Campyloneurum phyllitidis is known to occur in the central and northern islands of the Lucayan Archipelago as well as the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, Florida.
