Pellaea sp. C aff. P. viridis [family ADIANTACEAE], ; Schippers in Fern Gaz. 14: 181 (1993)
Information
Fronds 1–2-pinnate (or sometimes partially 3-pinnate the basal pinnules sometimes pinnate); pinnules large, (2.5–)5.5–8(–11) cm long, 1.2–2(–4) cm wide; some fronds are ± simply pinnate but with lower pinnules semi-hastate and then up to 10 cm long, 8 cm wide.
Range
DISTR. K 4, 7; T 3, 6 (fide Schippers)
Altitude range
1200–1800 m
Distribution

South Africa
Notes
As Faden op. cit. states, this variety behaves as a distinct species in E Africa, but seems to be indistinguishable from smaller-pinnuled specimens of the South African var. macrophylla with which I have felt obliged to associate it. Schelpe annotated Holst 9163 as intermediate with var.? macrophylla. Hieronymus had labelled this as “ Pteridella viridis var. canonica Kunze”. Schelpe and N.C. Anthony do not record it from north of Natal.
