Selliguea plantaginea is a fern species in the genus Selliguea.

Selliguea plantaginea has often been confused with S. feeoides, but differs in that S. feeoides hasfrequent hydathodes on the upper surface of the fronds, while in S. plantaginea, hydathodes are absent or infrequent.[12]

Distribution

Selliguea plantaginea has been found in Sulawesi, New Guinea, Fiji, the Society Islands (Tahiti and Huahine).[12]
