Xiphopteris sp. A [family GRAMMITIDACEAE], Johns, Pteripygmaead. Trop. E. Afr.: 49 (1991) — see Note

Information
Rhizome short-creeping, stipes ± 0.1 mm apart in each row. Stipe 5– 6 mm long with 1-forkedcatenate hairs. Lamina linear-oblanceolate to linear-elliptic in outline, ± 40 mm long, 2– 3 mm wide, bluntly acute to obtuse at apex, long-attenuate at base, pinnate at base or basal 1/3 divided to a distance 0.1– 0.2 mm from the midrib, apical 2/3 ± entire, pinnae 1– 3 pairs and 3– 5 pairs of apical lobes,, longest pinnae ± 1 mm long, 1– 2 mm wide, broadly triangular, bluntly acute to obtuse, with catenate 1– 2-forked hairs with simple eglandular branches and glandular apex sparse to scattered on both surfaces of lamina and rachis; lateral veins simple, free, each vein ending marked by an elongate hydathode on adaxial surface of lamina. Sori in ± entire apical 2/3 of lamina, not on pinnae, 18 in each row. Fig. 2/6– 2/8.
Range
T 2 not known elsewhere. See Note below.
Altitude range
2310– 2550 m
Distribution
Tanzania Moshi District Kilimanjaro, Kikafu River Gorge, 3 March 1997, Hemp 1636!
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 .
