Phlegmariurus changii(Huperziaceae), a New Hanging Firmoss from Taiwan

Abstract

Huang, 1994] and abundant herbarium specimens, we found that this species is new and we describe it herein. This species belongs to the Lycopodiales. The Lycopodiales were historically considered a single family, the Lycopodiaceae, which contained two genera, Phylloglossum Kunze and Lycopodium L. Phylloglossum is a genus containing only one species and endemic to Australia and New Zealand, whereas Lycopodium sensu Linnaeus are widely distributed in temperate and tropical regions. Lycopodium L. is a complex group and has undergone many changes in taxonomy and nomenclature (Holub, 1991; Wagner and Beitel,

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.…”

Phlegmariurus lehnertii, a new name for Phlegmariurus lancifolius (Lycopodiaceae)

“…The pantropical lycophyte genus Phlegmariurus Holub (1964: 21) (Lycopodiaceae) comprises approximately 250 species (PPG I, 2016) and despite extensive study, its taxonomy remains poorly understood (Øllgaard 1992, Field & Bostock 2013. In recent years, many species have been transferred to Phlegmariurus from the closely related temperate genus Huperzia Bernhardi (1801: 126) (Øllgaard 2012a,b, Field & Bostock 2013, Arana 2016, Duy et al 2016, Field et al 2016 and new species continue to be described from both the New World (Øllgaard 2015, 2016a,b) and Old World tropics (Hsieh et al 2012, Duy et al 2016. Duy et al (2016) recently discovered a new species from Vietnam that they named Phlegmariurus lancifolius Duy et al (2016: 152).…”
