Uses

Grown as ornamental. Medicine for stomach ache (Philippines); ‘obat ka-pala sakit’, marrow from the rhizome mixed with santen is applied to the head against headache (Sumba: Kanangan).

Notes

2The scales vary from brown, concolorous to blackish, with a more or less flabelloid margin near the base, and a more or less distinct midrib running through the acumen. This latter type is most frequent in plants from West Malesia (Sumatra, Java). In all cases the margin is strongly dentate, with long, straight teeth. 1Can be confused with D. sparsisora, which is usually easily distinguished by the appressed scales with squarrose, narrow acumen and the more irregularly scattered sori. Specimens without rhizome, however, cannot always be identified with certainty.
