Discusión taxonómica
The fewer pinna pairs, which are longer, broader, cuneate at their bases, and not reduced in size toward the frond bases, distinguish this species from L. vestita. Lomariopsis sorbifolium (L.) Fée of the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola, which also has 10–15 pinna pairs with cuneate bases, differs in having pinnae 4–8 cm long, rhizome scales pale brown to reddish brown, and entire, stalked fertile pinnae and winged rachises.A
