Notes
The name L. decomposita, under which this species was known for a long time, has been greatly misused for various species of sect. Syna- phlebium. The combination of little reduced Upper pinnules, sori interrupted by shallow incisions of the margin, and the sorus on the outer margin continuous with the outermost one on the upper, is distinctive, but it is not rare to find plants which otherwise agree with L. cultrata but in which one or the other of these characters is missing.
