Sphenopteris-like leaflets
- Sphenopteris coemansii      deeply divided leaflets, lobes hand-like (palmate)      leaflets often detached
- Crossotheca (Sphenopteris) crepinii      leaflets strongly divided      often with synangia (fused microsporangia)
- Eusphenopteris neuropteroides      leaflets rounded/rectangular, often somewhat convex      rather broadly attached, with distinct veins
- Eusphenopteris striata      leaflets more or less flat, with three to five rounded or oval lobes      fine radial striation, veins mostly indistinct
- Eusphenopteris hollandica      leaflets with smal (up to 2 mm) with oval, vaulted lobes      the top pinnules are about as large as the normal pinnules
- Eusphenopteris trigonophylla      leaflets as a whole often somewhat triangular with rounded or triangular lobes      leaflets a bit vaulted
- Oligocarpia (Sphenopteris) brongniartii      fronds with small, oval leaflets with scalloped border      finely divided aphlebia's at the base of some partial fronds
- Renaultia (Sphenopteris) gracilis      resembles the previous species very much but the leaflets are more deeply incised      books are needed for identification
- Renaultia (Sphenopteris) charaeformis      resembles the previous two species very much but the leaflets are dentate      books are needed for identification
-  Alloiopteris similis      leaflets very small (1 - 3 mm); they are connected at the base      pinnae with parallel sides
- Sphenopteris spiniformis      leaflets broad and deeply incised       variable shape, often with a (rather) pointed apex
- Palmatopteris furcata      lobes of the leaflets divided in the form of a hand      lobes with a midvein
- Fortopteris latifolia       leaflets very variable, in most cases dentate at the upper side       leaflets broadly attached and somewhat decurrent
