Showing Salvinia cucullata
Salviniaceae Martinov
Salvinia cucullata Bory , legitimate, scientific
Bory de Saint-Vincent, J.B.G.M. in Belanger, C.P. (ed.) (1833), Voyage aux Indes Orientales 2(1): 6 [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "Habitat. Roxburgh, qui le premier mentionna cette plante, et Wallich l'ont recueillie dans les eaux des environs de Calcutta. M. Bélanger l'a également trouvée flottante sur les eaux de l'Hooglie, au Bengale."
  • Comment: The authorship of this name is often attributed to "Wall." or "Roxb.". Wallich included the name as No. 399 in his Numerical List (1828) and cited Roxburgh, but Bory appears to have been the first to validly publish the name with a description.
