Notes
This is a somewhat variable species. The extremes certainly look different, e.g., the form described from (and particularly common in) the Philippines as L. concinna with short pinnules and basally rather strongly tapering lamina; but they all grade into each other. subsp. brevipes alone seems reasonably distinct, although there are a few intermediates, notably in New Guinea.
