Two new Phlegmariurus species (Lycopodiaceae) and one new combination from Peninsular Malaysia

Abstract

Two new species, Phlegmariurus iminii Kiew (Lycopodiaceae) from limestone karst and P. monticola Kiew from montane habitats, are described from Peninsular Malaysia and a new combination is made for Phlegmariurus pinifolius (Trevis.) Kiew. Phlegmariurus iminii, known from a single hill threatened by quarrying, is Critically Endangered; while P. monticola and P. pinifolius that are relatively widespread are of Least Concern.

Phlegmariurus vanuatuensis (Huperzioideae, Lycopodiaceae) a new species from Vanuatu, re-circumscription of P. nummulariifolius and new combinations in Phlegmariurus

“…Recent combinations and descriptions of Phlegmariurus bring the number of combinations in the genus globally to 288 (Hsieh et al 2012; Øllgaard 2012a, b; Field and Bostock 2013; Øllgaard 2015; Øllgaard 2016; Arana 2016; Field et al 2016; Duy et al 2016; Testo 2017; Kiew and Kamin 2018; Bauret et al 2018; Øllgaard 2016). Although the Phlegmariurus species diversity of the Neotropics have been comprehensively reviewed by Øllgaard (1992, 2012a, b, 2015, 2016), the species occurring in the Palaeotropics have not been as intensively reviewed.…”
