Notes: The stem leaves of this species are almost uniform and directed upwards almost to the apex of the main stem, giving the plant a distinctive appearance. Presl's type in the herbarium of the National Museum at Praha is localized Luzon, but it was probably from Peru. S. casequiarensis Hieron. was so labelled on an herbarium sheet, but never validly published. Alston in MS was inclined to validate that taxon at specific rank, citing Spruce 3380 (BM) as type. In our view the difference, the more pronounced cilia on the lateral leaves, is within the range of S. anceps. 19. Selaginella hirsuta Alston ex Crabbe & Jermy in Am. Fern J. 63 : 138 (1973).
