Notes

The type specimens of Alsophila comosa and A. ridleyi are both from Singapore I. The latter is only distinct in smaller size and less deeply lobed pinnules. Similar differences characterize the other species reduced to synonymy. The type collection of C. squamulata includes a small frond only 60 cm long in all, with pinnae to 8 cm long and very few free pinnules, but fertile.
