Questionable identification edit

Judging by the extracted images from Ferns and fern allies found on page 4 of the 1995 Fern News this does not look so much like Schizaea bifida. It looks more like Schizaea asperula or Schizaea dichotoma. However, it is impossible to tell as the full stalks are not shown. I assume that if the two sets of bifurcated stalks belong to different plants, it could be Schizaea bifurda, however they look very close for separate plants therefore I tend toward assuming the tentative identification is in fact incorrect. For the record I have zero experience identifying these plants, I am just going from the source material. prat (talk) 00:12, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
