Telaranea centipes (Lepidoziaceae)  
   
Telaranea centipes is probably the most recognizable species of Telaranea in the field. At some parts of the stem, the leaves may appear almost longitudinally inserted. The 4 teeth at the leaf apices are not widely divergent and appear to all be pointing almost in the same direction. The underleaves have four teeth like the stem leaves.

T. centipes is superficially similar to glaucous species of Lepidozia like Lepidozia glaucophylla but the latter species is larger and the some of the side branches end in flagella.
