Remarks

Protologue: “A. ornata var. sikkimensis. Agrees with the Himalayan fern described by Clarke and Baker under the name of sikkimensis, Journ. Linn. Soc. xxiv. 409, except that the stipe and main rachis are more prominently muricated.” Based on the preceding comment, one may prefer to treat the variety as new, but the comment is treated as pertaining to mere variation and the varietal name treated here as a new combination.
