Taxonomy
Fée did not print a description, but his figures (overlooked by Hooker) adequately distinguish this species from P. irregularis and P. bron niartii. The specimens named Tectaria cumingiana by Tardieu & C. Christensen (1941) represent the large form of P. irregularis referred to above.
Presl in 1836 based his new name Dictyopteris macrodonta on Polypodium macrodon Reinw.; in 1867 the latter binomial was preferred by Baker to Polypodium cumingianum Hook.; but neither Presl nor Baker cited a particular publication by Reinwardt, and I find no evidence that Reinwardt published the name which is not in either part of his Sylloge Plantarum No varum (1824).
