Discusión taxonómica
Notholaena galeottii is distinct in having a dense indument of laminar scales overlying farina. The species can be distinguished from N. aschenborniana by having stiff simple hairs adaxially, and rachises clothed primarily with scales (vs. spreading, stellate hairs adaxially and rachises clothed primarily with stellate hairs).A
