Morphological, ecological and genetic evidence have revealed the existence of two sympatric species in what has previously been recognised as Lindsaea divaricata Klotzsch. The new species, Lindsaea digitata Lehtonen & Tuomisto, is described here, and its ecological and genetic differences from the apparently closely related L. divaricata are documented.
