Discusión taxonómica
This species is closely allied to A. hirsuta but has short fertile pinnae and only erose-serrulate, glabrous, sterile pinnae. These characters suggest an affinity to A. affinis of western Mexico, but the shorter fertile pinnae and small size of A. familiaris are distinctive. Anemia familiaris also resembles A. obovata (Underw.) Maxon of Cuba, which has glabrous, entire pinnae. However, the latter has only 2–4 pinna pairs that are broader, more obovate to oblong, and with pinna bases that are not as narrowly cuneate. An odd specimen from Jalisco (González 368, MICH) closely resembles A. familiaris, but is probably a dwarf specimen (7–10 cm) of A. affinis.
