Christella acuminata monstr. kuliangensis (Ching) Nakaike; C. acuminata var. kuliangensis (Ching) C. M. Kuo; Cyclosorus kuliangensis (Ching) K. H. Shing; Thelypteris acuminata var. kuliangensis (Ching) K. Iwatsuki.

Pinnae usually 4-8 pairs, oblanceolate; proximal several pinnae enlarged at apices and abruptly acute; veinlets usually 1.5 pairs below sinuses.

● Semi-open places in thickets, grasslands, farmland margins, roadsides; near sea level to 1200 m. Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Zhejiang.

The types of Cyclosorus paracuminatus Ching ex K. H. Shing & J. F. Cheng (Jiangxi Sci. 8(3): 46. 1990) resemble this variety in general outline but have orange glands abaxially and lack sori. Only one gathering (the type) without sori has been collected. This taxon might be a hybrid.

Cyclosorus acuminatus var. acuminatoides W. C. Shieh & J. L. Tsai (J. Sci. Engin. 24: 8. 1987) is endemic to Taiwan. This variety is a probable hybrid between C. acuminatus var. acuminatus and C. acuminatus var. kuliangensis.
