Formal recognition of six subordinate taxa within the South American bracken fern, Pteridium esculentum (P. esculentum subsp. arachnoideum s.l.—Dennstaedtiaceae), based on morphology and geography

Abstract: Based on the morphological study of ca. 470 specimens and geographical studies, we here propose the recognition of six morphotypes within the South American Pteridium esculentum (= P. arachnoideum s.l., or P. aquilinum var. arachnoideum sensu Tryon, or P. esculentum subsp. arachnoideum sensu Thomson). Three of them are widely distributed and well-defined, and we regard them as subspecies of P. esculentum: P. esculentum subsp. arachnoideum s. str., P. esculentum subsp. campestre, comb. et stat. nov., and P. esc… Show more

“…In contrast to the genetic subdivisions observed in Pteridium aquilinum , we detected no clear differences between Australian and South American P. esculentum . This finding is more consistent with the treatment as a single species (Thomson, ; Zhou et al., ; Schwartsburd et al., ) rather than as separate taxa with P. esculentum in Australia and P. arachnoideum in South America (see e.g., Schwartsburd et al., ).…”
