Notes
. Lellingeria paucipinnata is possibly known only from the type collection, although two collections cited as X. sp. B by Faden in U.K.W.F. ed. 2, 23 (1994) and as X. sp. A by Johns, Pterid. Trop. E. Afr.: 49 (1991) may belong here. They are Faden et al. 69/524 and Faden 70/97, neither of which I have seen. Hemp, on the label on the type collection, calls it Xiphopteris spec. A. Johns 1991 (= X. spec. B. Faden 1994 [sic]). See under L. strangeana for differences between this and L. paucipinnata .
