Phymatopteris hastata (Thunb.) Pic.-Serm. 

India, China, Japan. In the Philippines known only from LUZON: Benguet. Epiphytic 

or lithophytic, alt. c. 2400m. 

According to Hovenkamp et.al. [Fl. Males. ser. 2, 3 (1998) 227], simple 

fronded plants from the Philippines have been identified as Phymatopteris hastata by 

Zamora & Co [Guide to Philipp. Flora & Fauna 2 (1986) 29], and that other than 

through this reference, P. hastata is not known from the Philippines. 

This is incorrect as Copeland (Fern Fl. Philipp. 2 (1960) 505) reported this species to 

be common in Benguet at 2400 m.
