This is not at all nearly related to Athyrium zeylanicum (Hook.) Milde, but 
is very close to A. porphyrorachis (Baker) Copel. comb. nova. Asplenium 
porphyroracliis Baker, Journ. Bot. (1879) 40. The specimens in hand, of the 
two, leave A. Merrilli distinguishable by its broader and imbricate segments, not 
separate even at the base of the frond.
