Showing Goniopteris ghiesbreghtii
Thelypteridaceae Pic.Serm.
Goniopteris ghiesbreghtii (Hook.) F.M.Bailey , legitimate, scientific
Bailey, F.M. (1874), Handbook to the Ferns of Queensland: 40 [comb. nov.]
basionym: Polypodium crenatum var. ghiesbreghtii Hook. legitimate
  • Comment: Bailey makes no reference to a basionym but cites the authorship of this name as "Linden", here presumed to be a reference to "Lonchitis ghiesbreghtii", a designation invalidly published by J.J.Linden, Cat. Pl. Exot. 12: 10 (1857), which was subsequently validated as Polypodium crenatum var. ghiesbreghtii Hook., Sp. Fil. 3 (1864). Since Bailey also fulfills the conditions for publication of the name Goniopteris ghiesbreghtii as that of a new taxon, this is here treated as a new combination by Bailey under ICN Art. 41.4 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
