|discussion=<p>Young, sterile plants of <i>Cheilanthes fendleri</i> are occasionally misidentified as <i>C. pringlei</i>; they are distinguished from that species by having rachises that are rounded (not grooved) adaxially. <i>Cheilanthes fendleri</i> apparently hybridizes with both <i>C. wootonii</i> (T. Reeves 1979) and <i>C. covillei</i> (M. D. Windham, unpublished).</p>
