Osmolindsaea

Osmolindsaea is a genus of ferns in the family Lindsaeaceae. Most species are found in southeastern Asia, from West Himalaya and Sri Lanka to Japan and New Guinea. Osmolindsaea latisquama and Osmolindsaea leptolepida (which may be synonymous) are found in Madagascar and the adjacent African mainland.[1][2]

• Osmolindsaea japonica (Baker) Lehtonen & Christenh.
• Osmolindsaea latisquama Lehtonen & Rouhan
• Osmolindsaea leptolepida Rouhan & Lehtonen = Osmolindsaea latisquama in PoWO
• Osmolindsaea odorata (Roxb.) Lehtonen & Christenh.
