--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>compact; stem scales uniformly tan or somewhat darker near base, to 15 mm, margins ciliate-dentate to entire. <b>Leaves</b> 8–45 cm. <b>Blade</b> 1-pinnate to pinnate-pinnatifid, pinna pairs 20–45. <b>Pinnae</b> oblong to ovate, largest usually 7–15 mm, entire or asymmetrically lobed, lobes 2–7, broadly rounded, separated by shallow sinuses; abaxial scales concealing surface, lanceolate, usually 1–1.5 mm, ciliate with coarse marginal projections; adaxial scales abundant, mostly persistent, stellate to coarsely ciliate, elongate, attached at base, body mostly 5–7 cells wide. <b>Sporangia</b> containing 32 spores. n = 2n = 87, apogamous.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>R. H. Hevly (1965) hypothesized that <i>Astrolepis integerrima</i> was produced by hybridization between <i>A. cochisensis</i> and <i>A. sinuata</i>. Recent isozyme analyses (D. M. Benham 1989) indicate, however, that <i>Astrolepis integerrima</i> is an apogamous allotriploid hybrid between <i>A. cochisensis</i> and an unnamed Mexican taxon related to <i>A. crassifolia</i> (Houlston & T. Moore) D. M. Benham & Windham. Two morphologic forms exist in this taxon: one with essentially entire pinnae, and one (more common in the United States) with larger, asymmetrically lobed pinnae. The former might be confused with <i>A. cochisensis</i> on occasion, but the abundance of adaxial scales and the larger pinnae of <i>A. integerrima</i> should serve to distinguish these species. The lobed form of <i>A. integerrima</i> is superficially similar to <i>A. windhamii</i>, from which it is distinguished by the abundance and greater width of adaxial scales and the asymmetrical lobing of the pinnae.</p>
