A form gathered by Dr. Koorders differs from the diagnosis 

 given in my handbook in having the stipes up to 71/2 cm long 

 and the fronds to ca 30 cm long, with the pinnae rather oblique, 

 less truncate on the upper side at the base.— The spécimen 

 gathered by Dr. Raciborski has the pinnae spreading and more 

 conspicuously truncate on the upper side at the base.— Java
