Alsophila caudata, synonym Cyathea caudata,[1] is a species of tree fern native to the islands of Luzon and Mindanao in the Philippines, where it grows in montane forest. The trunk is erect and up to 4 m tall or more. Fronds are bi- or tripinnate and 1–2 m long. The stipe is warty and covered with dark, narrow, glossy scales. Sori are borne near the midvein of fertile pinnules and are protected by firm, brown indusia.[2] As of April 2022[update], Plants of the World Online treated it as a synonym of Alsophila speciosa.[3]
