Discusión taxonómica

(In relation to the synonym Polypodium fallacissimum) This species closely resembles Polypodium riograndense and small specimens of P. thyssanolepis, but is distinct in its pinnae being oblique to the rachis and the large laminar scales. Polypodium fallacissimum is like P. guttatum in its yellow-green blades and fringed blade scales. Polypodium riograndense also differs in having caudate blade scales with pronounced teeth.A
