Entry From
Flora Somalia, Vol 1, (1993) Author: [updated by M. Thulin 2008]
Names
ACTINIOPTERIS dimorpha Pic. Ser. [family ACTINIOPTERIDACEAE], (1962).
Information
Rhizome-scales of 2 types: light brown and wholly membranous, or with dark central stripe and light membranous margins. Leaf-blade when dried out forming a right angle with the stipe, the fertile leaves much taller than the sterile; leaf-blades fan-shaped in outline with a ± truncate base, fertile segments longer, narrower, and more acute than the sterile.
Range
N1 Ethiopia, Sudan and southwards to Zimbabwe and MozambiquetheRéunion.
Altitude range
1100–1870 m.
Distribution
SOMALIA Godding 99; Gillett & Watson 23694.
Distribution (external)
Comoro Is
Madagascar
Notes
This has sterile leaves similar to those of A. radiata and fertile leaves similar to those of A. semiflabellata. It is a very polymorphic taxon perhaps of hybridogenic origin (see Kornaś & al., op. cit.).
