There is a marked superficial resemblance between Dryopteris 
parasitica and D. globulifera, but the former is distinguished by 
its hairy epidermis and indusia in addition to the short lobes of its 
pinnae, while the latter has glands upon its epidermis and indusia, 
and its pinnae are deeply cut.
