Christella berroi (C.Chr.) Salino & A.R.Sm. View in CoL , comb. nov.

Dryopteris berroi Christensen (1913: 185) . Thelypteris berroi (C.Chr.) Reed (1968: 263) .

Type: — URUGUAY. “in locis umbrosis ad ripam San Antonio,” M. B. Berro 5243 (holotype P!, isotype BM 000937763!)

This combination is necessary to have all species of Thelypteridaceae occurring in Brazil with current names. Most other species in this genus already have names in Christella , some only recently published by Smith & Kessler (2017). Available information (e.g., Almeida et al. 2016) indicates that Christella may not be monophyletic, and the New World and African species placed there may ultimately go elsewhere, but in lieu of a better solution to this problem, we accept Christella as the best placement for now ( Smith & Kessler 2017).
