|discussion=<p>The names <i>Ctenitis</i> ampla (Humboldt & Bonpland ex Willdenow) Ching and <i>Dryopteris</i> ampla (Humboldt & Bonpland ex Willdenow) Kuntze have been misapplied to this taxon. <i>Ctenitis sloanei</i> and <i>C. submarginalis</i> both have numerous scales at the base of the petiole; in <i>C. sloanei</i>, however, the scales form a large, conspicuous, tangled tuft.</p>
