Derrick Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 In my book I report a record of this species occurring with L. sinuosa in lowland savannahs along the Binaturi River, Western Province, Papua New Guinea. I suspect this is an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this is an error. Why did you suspect an error, Derrick? A confusion with abnormal specimens of L. sinuosa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hello Aurelien, its range is very probably confined to Peninsular Malaysia and the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Also, I cannot find where I sourced my PNG record so ??????. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurélien Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Such a disjonction in the natural range is indeed dubious. If it occur also in PNG, it'll at least present in Sulawesi. WCFL (https://worldplants.webarchiv.kit.edu/ferns/) quote this plant in peninsular Malaysia (Kelantan, Pahan, Melaka, Johor, Singapore), Borneo, peninsular Thailand, Sumatra.
