Taxonomy
M. G. Price, who saw many plants in the field, reports that there are two forms of this species, a larger one with erect sterile fronds and a smaller one with horizontal sterile fronds, also that spores of the two differ. Herbarium specimens do not show this difference clearly. Further field studies are needed.
Cytology
Chromosome number 41 was reported by T. G. Walker in , but Dr Walker in 1987 has written to correct this to 40, thus agreeing with Tectaria.
