Notes
The tripinnate form has been described as L. orbiculata var. odontosorioides, but it does not seem to merit taxonomic recognition.
For this species MORTON () made the new combination Lindsaea interrupta (ROXB.) MORTON, based on Vittaria interrupta ROXBURGH, referring L. cambodgensis CHRIST to its synonymy (following my earlier misinterpretation of this name: ). In view of the gross incompleteness of Rox- BURGH'S original description, and of the complete lack of indication of provenance on the label of the specimen regarded as type by MORTON, I think it unwise to adopt ROXBURGH'S (and MORTON'S) names which I prefer to regard as names of uncertain application. The same holds in my opinion for the interpretation of Vittaria lunulata ROXBURGH, despite MORTON'S assertions to the contrary (l.c. 386).
