Proposed IUCN Conservation Assessment

Data Deficient (DD). This species is only known from the type collection.

Notes

This species has generally been synonymised into either Lindsaea tenera or Lindsaea bouillodii although Kramer, in Flora Malesiana, notes that his earlier synonymisation was a mistake, presumably implying that he considered it a good species .  We recognise it here although it is known only from the type collection.  Further collections and research is needed to establish its relationship with Lindsaea bouillodii and  L. chienii.  The size ranges in the description are narrow due to the lack of material.
