Notes
This is very like L. sinuata, but has con- sistently smaller pinnae of both bathyphylls and acrophylls and narrower fertile pinnae. I have included numerous New Guinea collections which differ from the type in the very narrowly cuneate basiscopic base of sterile pinnae. If further collections from the Moluccas should indicate that the New Guinea plants are distinct, the latter will need a new name.
