is a widespread species in Peninsular Malaysia, most commonly encountered on limestone rocks but also on granite rocks in lowland forest and occasionally as an epiphyte in mountain forest. It is variable in the division of the fronds: it is sometimes found with only simple fronds, most commonly plants with simple fronds also bear fronds with one or two pairs of pinnae, while many plants have 1-2(-6) pairs of pinnae. However, even small fronds with simple or a single pair of pinnae have wider

pinnae (7-) 14-20(-28) mm wide with wider terminal pinnae (11-)15-25(-46) mm wide compared to the new species that has pinnae 2-3(-4.5) mm wide. Another conspicuous difference is in the size and position of the sori. In
