Discusión taxonómica
This differs from the other Mexican species of Enterosora by the thicker, more succulent blades and by the sori embedded in deep pits; also, the fronds are ordinarily much longer than in either of the other two species. Enterosora ecostata is probably most closely allied to E. percrassa (Baker) L. E. Bishop, from Costa Rica and Panama, and hybridizes with it in that area (Bishop & Smith, 1992).A
