Descripción
Rhizomes erect, well developed, stoloniferous, lacking tubers; rhizome scales weakly bicolorous, linear, reddish brown, 1–3 mm long, margins pale ciliate-dentate; stipes 4–17 cm long, 1⁄10–1⁄5 the frond length, tan, glabrous, with rare hair-like scales; blades firm-herbaceous, 18–60 X (2.5–)3–5(–6.5) cm, linear-elliptic; rachises glabrous except for matted, linear scales at pinna bases; pinnae usually oblong, parallel-sided to near apex, apices obtuse to acuminate, bases unequal, auriculate acroscopically, cuneate basiscopically, margins crenulate; indument on both blade surfaces generally absent or very sparse; hydathodes lime-dotted on adaxial blade surfaces; indusia tan, reniform or lunate, 1–1.5 mm wide, attached along broad, shallow sinuses mostly opening toward pinna apices; 2n=82 (Chis), 164 (Jam).A

Discusión taxonómica
The lunate indusia, pinna bases that are cuneate basiscopically, and essentially parallel-sided pinnae distinguish this species from its most similar congeners (N. pendula and N. undulata) in Mexico. Díaz-Barriga and Palacios-Rios (1992: 48) cited Arsène 6690 (MEXU), from Michoacán, as N. pectinata and also as N. cordifolia, but the specimen has not been found at MEXU (March 1998); most likely, it is not N. pectinata.A
