Note: As Proctor (1977) also stated, this species differs
from Polystichopsis muscosa (Vahl) Proctor, in its
much smaller stature, more delicate blade texture
and more elongated blade apices, giving this species a
different general appearance.

Habitat: rare terrestrial endemic species, growing in
shaded rocky ravines near waterfalls at mid elevations.
The species has not been recently collected.
Material examined: BASSE TERRE: Matouba,
Rivière Saint Louis, Duss 236 (P); 787 (P).
Note: This species closely resembles P. echinatum of
the Greater Antilles and may be conspecific.

P, but it was cited for Guadeloupe by Proctor (1977,
1989). Continued occurrence on Guadeloupe needs to
be verified.
