Sericopteris auriculata (Franch.) Jing Zhao & X.M. Zhou , comb. & sta. nov.

Basionym: ≡ Gymnogramma vestita var. auriculata Franch., Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. , sér. 2, 10: 123. 1887. ≡ Gymnopteris bipinnata var. auriculata (Franch.) Ching, Lingnan Sci. J. 15(3): 398. 1936. ≡ Gymnopteris vestita var. auriculata (Franch.) Ching, Illustr. Chin. Pl. Pterid. 85. 1957. ≡ Paragymnopteris bipinnata var. auriculata (Franch.) K.H. Shing, Indian Fern J. 10(1-2): 230 (1993 publ. 1994).

= Gymnopteris borealisinensis Kitag., Rep. First Sci. Exped. Manchoukuo 4(2): 83, t. 12. 1935. ≡ Notholaena borealisinensis (Kitag.) Fraser-Jenk. , New Species Syndr. Indian Pteridol. 183.1997.

This species is distributed across China, India, and Nepal (Chu & Zhang 2006, Zhang & Ranker 2013, Fraser-Jenkins et al. 2017).

In previous studies, Sericopteris auriculata was usually resolved as the variety of S. bipinnata ( Yin et al. 2024) . In our recent phylogenomic study, this species formed a well-supported clade of its own ( Zhao et al. 2024).

The Chinese name is suggested as ‘ ffľḡƚḋẍ (er yu juan mao luo jue)’.
