In general habit dried specimens of Erythrodes vrydagzynoides 

 resemble Vrydagzynea albida Bl. The spur is scarcely bifid at 

 the tip as in typical specimens of the genus as represented in 

 the tropics of the Old World. There are no warts or callosities 

 within the spur and no excrescences on the disc. The margin 

 of the limb is strongly inrolled. In dried specimens the leaves 

 appear to have been marked with a white median band.
