Diplazium subsinuatum and Di. tomitaroanum should be moved to Deparia according to molecular, morphological, and cytological characters

Analysis of rbcL sequence data revealed that the putative intergeneric hybr id, Diplazium tomitaroanum Masam. belongs in Deparia, as also does Diplaziu m subsinuatum (Wall. ex Hook. et Grev.) Tagawa, one of the putative parents . An examination of rachis, scale and spore morphology, and chromosome data provide support for this placement We propose a new taxonomic treatment of the two Diplazium species as Deparia.
