discussion
Notes. – The protologue of Adiantum lunulatum included references to plates from PETIVER (1702 – 1709) ’ s Gazophylacii Naturae and RHEEDE (1678 – 1693) ’ s Hortus Indicus Malabaricus, as well to a specimen (or possibly more) received from Malabar or Java (“ Habitat in Malabara & Java, unde missa ”). MERRILL (1921: 334) stated that: “ the actual type was apparently a Javan specimen, the Malabar reference being apparently added either from Avenka Rheede Hort. Malabar. 12: 72, tab. 40, or from Petiver Gaz. tab. 54, f. 10, both cited as representing the species ”. As a single specimen of original material (from unknown origin but bearing references to both plates) is present in G-PREL [G 00800009], Merrill’s implicit lectotypification is accepted here. This was overlooked by MORTON (1974: 370), who selected the same specimen as lectotype.
