Discusión taxonómica
(In relation to the synonym Polypodium polypodioides var. michauxianum) Var. michauxianum has an unusual distribution pattern, occurring primarily in the northern states but apparently also in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Guatemala. It is possible the characters have been misinterpreted. More work is needed on this complex. Some collections from Veracruz and San Luis Potosí are intermediate between var. michauxianum and var. aciculare, lacking adaxial scales, but with acicular or at least some lanceolate scales below.A
