Discusión taxonómica
Lophosoria is a genus of three species, one of which is widespread and common in high elevation wet forests. The genus resembles the dicksonioid tree ferns in stomata, hairs, stipe anatomy, and chromosome number (x=65). It is distinct by its stout, hairy rhizomes, large fronds, blades glaucous abaxially, and exindusiate abaxial sori. Molecular data (Wolf et al., 1999) have shown Lophosoria to be sister to Dicksonia.A
