==Species identification== The two species can be distinguished by leaf anatomy: ''H. forsteriana'' has rather flat fronds with elegantly drooping leaflets, while ''H. belmoreana'' has curved leaves with erect leaflets giving the fronds a more angular appearance. More technically, if the inflorescence is a single spike and the rachis of the leaves is arcuate, the species is ''H. belmoreana''. If the inflorescence consists of 3 to 5 (up to a maximum of 8) spikes arising from a single broad base, and the rachis of central and lower leaves is horizontal and drooping, the species is ''H. forsteriana''.
