Leptochilus saxicola (H.G. Zhou & H. Li) Liang Zhang & Li Bing Zhang View in CoL , comb. nov.

Basionym: Colysis saxicola H.G. Zhou & H. Li (1993: 253) View in CoL .

Type:— CHINA. Guangxi: Napo County, Nonghua , elev. 1100 m, Hougao Zhou 2605 (holotype in GXAC; isotypes in PYU) .

Notes:—The species was treated as a synonym of Leptochilus pedunculatus ( Zhang & Nooteboom 2013) , but differs later in having monomorphic leaves, lamina base slightly lobed. The species is most similar to L. × hemitomus ( Hance 1883: 269) Nooteboom (1997: 293) , differs later in having lamina base cordate, lower lamina margins slightly lobed or entire, and laminae chartaceous. This rare fern occurs in limestone mountains in Guangxi Province of southern China and Bac Kan Province of northern Vietnam.

The species was resolved much more closely related to Leptochilus dissimilialatus and L. flexilobus than to L. hemitomus .
