BOLBITIS TERMINANS AND B. BEDDOMEI (LOMARIOPSIDACEAE), TWO NEW FERN NAMES FROM SOUTH INDIA

摘要

Wallich validated a number of species in his Numerical List by reference to previously publish( d descriptions. The name Acrostichum terminans Wall, had previously been taken as a nomen nudum, but was validated by reference to the description in van Rheede's Hortus Malabarieus, even though that is a pre-Linnaean work. As a result two Bolbitis taxa from south India should be known by different names and are now to be called B. terminans (Wall.) Gandhi & Fraser-Jenk. and B. beddomei Fraser-Jenk. & Gandhi. Their synonymy is given.
