Notes
The only Malayan specimen is from G. Tahan. The Hainan specimen (McClure 20066) was distributed as E. austrosinicum Matt. & Chr., which has acuminate fronds much more decurrent at the base. E. spongophyllum has somewhat the same shape of frond as E. sumatranum, but it always dries brownish, and the spores are very different.
