Treatment

Lonchitis hirsuta Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 1078. 1753.

"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 7823.

Lectotype (Tryon in Contr. Gray Herb. 191: 95. 1962): [icon] " Filix villosa , pinnulis quercinis " in Plumier, Traité Foug. Amér.: 16, t. 20. 1705 (see p. 150).

Generitype of Lonchitis Linnaeus (vide Brongniart, Dict. Class. Hist. Nat. 9: 490. 1826).

Current name: Lonchitis hirsuta L. View in CoL ( Dennstaedtiaceae ).

Note: Lonchitis hirsuta , with the type designated by Tryon (erroneously attributed to Proctor in Howard, Fl. Lesser Antilles 2: 133. 1977), was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in Taxon 41: 565. 1992). The Committee for Pteridophyta (in Taxon 48: 133. 1999) ruled that the proposal was unnecessary, concluding that L. hirsuta is in any case the generitype, as chosen by Brongniart in 1826.
