Taxonomic notes on the New Zealand flora: lectotypes and excluded taxa in the fern family Polypodiaceae

摘要

Lectotypes are chosen for five basionyms relevant to New Zealand representatives of the fern family Polypodiaceae, Dictymia lanceolata J.Sm. ex Hook.f., Polypodium dictyopteris Mett., Polypodium diversifolium Willd., Polypodium novae-zealandiae Baker and Polypodium rupestre var. sinuatum Colenso. Two taxa originally attributed to New Zealand are excluded from the flora, Polypodium viride Gilbert and Polypodium vulgare var. auritum Gilbert. This article is a contribution towards clarifying the taxonomic and nomenclatural status of New Zealand plants for the plant names database (Ngā Tipu Aotearoa) and the electronic Flora of New Zealand.
