- Type
- Type: China, Canton, Osbeck s.n. (S-PA, Herb. Swartz!, holo., seen by Holttum)
- Rhizomes
- Rhizome short- to long-creeping; scales lanceolate, 7 mm long
- Leaves
- Fronds 0.5–1 m tall
- Stipes
- Stipe up to 50 cm long, softly hairy
- Leaf lamina
- Lamina simply pinnate-pinnatifid, 20–50 cm long with about 20 pairs of pinnae, the basal ones deflexed, not or only slightly reduced; largest pinnae 5–16 cm long, 1–2 cm wide, acuminate, deeply lobed; lobes oblong, 6 mm long, 2.5–4 mm wide, rounded truncate, ± entire; veins in 8–10 pairs, the lowest pair joined forming an excurrent vein to the sinus-membrane, lower surfaces of lobes typically covered with soft spreading hairs and thick orange or very pale ellipsoid glands usually present on the costules and veins
- Indusium
- Indusia hairy.
- Ecology
- Forest, seasonally inundated bushland, thicket; ± 1200 m
- Note
- African material is less hairy than typical in Asia. Holttum (1972, 1981) mentions Kenya in his distribution but I have not seen the material. Schippers in Fern Gaz. 14: 196 (1993) mentions that URFRP 87430 from Usambaras, Lutindi, and De Boer & Bosch 315 from “Bugoba” may belong to this species. In 1971 Fosberg (in litt.) maintained that he still thought T. fadenii was a good species but a label on Faden et al. 69/998(A) of Fosberg’s says possibly too close to T. parasitica.
- Distribution
