Lindsaea sect. Temnolindsaea

Primary tabs

Lindsaea sect. Temnolindsaea

Distribution

Asia-Tropical, Neotropical present, New Caledonia present
Neotropical, and 7 spp. in Malesia and New Caledonia.

Taxonomy

The short-creeping rhizome, bipinnate lamina with conform terminal pinna, dimidiate free-veined pinnules, interrupted sori, and trilete spores are characters of all species. Otherwise the paleotropical species do not have very much in common with the neotropical ones, and it may well be that they are more closely related to sect. Synaphlebium.
