|discussion=<p>The hybrid between <i>Tectaria fimbriata</i> and <i>T. coriandrifolia</i> is T. × amesiana A. A. Eaton. Although intermediate between the two parents, the hybrid will lead to <i>T. fimbriata</i> in the key. The hybrid may be distinguished from <i>T. fimbriata</i> by scattered hairs on abaxial surface of petioles and misshapen spores.</p>
