Notes

I have not seen the type of L. cordata Copel. The Photographie illustration shows a complete frond sterile at the base, fertile in distal parts. The sterile pinnae are only 7 mm wide, but on such a frond would probably not be normal. The fertile pinnae are rather long-stalked even to the apex of the frond (stalks are evidently 4-6 mm long, not 4-6 cm as in the printed description) where stalks are usually shorter.
M. G. Price has collected on Mt Makiling bathyphylls of this species in which the lower pinnae are gradually decrescent, but the lowest are elongate and deeply lobed so as to be almost pinnate.
