Notes

This is near D. seiurus C. Chr. (an earlier name) and the two should perhaps be united. The type of D. arehboldii is larger than that of D. seiurus in all parts of the frond, and the hairs on the costae are mostly red and ascending; the fertile tertiary leaflets of D. seiurus have in some cases a larger sterile portion, but this varies according to position on the frond, and whole fronds of each type are not available for comparison.
