This member of the Polypodiaceae family was described by John Gilbert Baker in 1881. It is found on Borneo, Java, Maluku, New Guinea, Philippines and Sumatera. It grows in the trees with some water and some sun. The hollow rhizomes will grow up to 20 centimetres in diameter, and the leaves will grow up to 30 centimetres.
The genera name after some Lecan, but I fail to figure which one, or perhaps Greek lekane; 'bowl', and Latin pteris; 'fern'. The genera name Lecanopteris was introduced by Caspar Georg Reinwardt published in Flora 8, 1825. The species name after Charles Curtis, 1853-1928, an English botanist. Seen on IPNI as member of the Pteridophyta family.
