Diplazium bellum is a rare species distributed from SW China to Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma and India. I’ve seen a juvenile of this species only once in Yunnan Province during my field works these years. It holds a critical phylogenetic position as being sister to all the other diplaziums. The pinnae and pinnules are all opposite and flattened. I guess it may have some relationship to Athyrium.
