Alsophila humilis,
indusia.[2]
Two distinct
endemic to the Mogodoro district of Tanzania. This variety differs in the shape of its fronds and does not retain them as a skirt around its trunk. Further study is needed to more precisely determine the taxonomic status of these plants.[2]
Large and Braggins (2004) note that the holotype of A. humilis (first described as Cyathea humilis) is "almost certainly a juvenile of Cyathea stuhlmannii", a taxon also described by Hieronymus. Since the specific epithet humilis is older, it takes precedence, and C. stuhlmannii should be regarded as a later synonym.[2]
The name Alsophila humilis J.Sm. is a synonym of Cyathea villosa.[3]
