|discussion=<p>The hybrid between <i>Polystichum lonchitis</i> and <i>P. acrostichoides</i> (= P. × hagenahii Cody) is discussed under <i>P. acrostichoides</i>. The hybrid with <i>P. braunii</i> (= P. × meyeri Sleep & Reichstein) is discussed under <i>P. braunii</i>. In the Georgian Bay area of Ontario, <i>P. lonchitis</i> hybridizes with <i>Dryopteris goldiana</i> to produce the peculiar × Dryostichum singulare W. H. Wagner (W. H. Wagner Jr., F. S. Wagner et al. 1992).</p><!--
--><p>The spiny spores of <i>P. lonchitis</i> are distinctive and distinguish this from dwarfed forms of other 1-pinnate species.</p>
