Fig. 7. Ecology Occurs as rupestrial in rocky cliffs at river margins. Taxon discussion This species is characterized by the conform or subconform apical pinnae, sori medial to supramedial and petioles smooth ( Stolze 1974 ). The closest species is Cyathea consimilis (Stolze) Lehnert ( Stolze 1974 ) from which C. subincisa can be distinguished by the smooth or rarely tuberculate petiole (spine or muricate in C. consimilis ).
