Notes
The specimen from Talaud Is (Lam 3319), listed as Alsophila fenicis by Holthuis & Lam, appears to lack hairs on lower surface of costae, but its setiferous scales are like those of C. elmeri, not of C. sangirensis.
The type specimen of C. argyrolepis, from an exposed place on Camiguin de Mindanao, has small pinnules (to 90 by 11 mm) and is more scaly than normal.
C. haenkei (Pr.) Merr. from Guam is very nearly allied.
