Lomagramma novoguineensis

Distribution

Asia-Tropical, W.-E. present
Malesia: New Guinea (W.-E.).

Notes

Only two collections of acrophylls and fertile fronds are known, the second being from 50 m alt. in western New Guinea. A third collection, of bathyphylls only, may also represent this species (Womersley & Millar NGF 8571, Western Highlands of NE. New Guinea, 700 m). The fronds of this have up to 40 pairs of closely- placed pinnae below the narrow lobed apex; the larger pinnae resemble the upper pinnae of the type of L. novoguineensis. A poor specimen collected by Clemens (8083A, Sattelberg, 1000 m, B) may also represent this species, but fertile fronds are young, not fully expanded, so that the mature size of the pinnae cannot be judged.
