Discusión taxonómica
See discussion under A. auritum. A possible synonym is Asplenium auritum Sw. var. bipinnatisectum Mett., Abh. Senckenberg. Naturf. Ges. 3: 147. 1859. Lectotype (chosen by Morton & Lellinger, 1966: 20). Mexico. Schiede & Deppe [773] (B-photo US!). This has usually been placed under A. lacerum (e.g., by Mickel & Beitel, 1988: 61), here treated as a synonym of A. cuspidatum, or under A. auritum var. bipinnatifidum Kunze (e.g., by Morton & Lellinger, 1966: 20).
Breedlove 24054 (DS, NY), from Chiapas, appears to be a hybrid involving A. sphaerosporum and some other species, possibly A. cuspidatum; the spores are malformed.
