@Ee1518: "Polypodium leucotomos" is a mis-spelling of Polypodium leucatomos according to IPNI, the definitive source of plant scientific names. World Ferns says Polypodium leucatomos is a synonym of Phlebodium decumanum, although Plants of the World Online says it's a synonym of Phlebodium aureum. I usually go with World Ferns when sources differ. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:16, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
