Notes
C. crinita (Hook.) Copel., of Ceylon and South India, is very closely related to C. tomentosa. It occurs at lower elevations, is less scaly generally, the pinnules are wider, the lamina less rigid, the hairs on scales of costules straighter and less entangled. Specimens from Java formerly recorded as C. crinita are C. tomentosa; if the two species should be united, C. tomentosa is the older name.
