Lycopodium phlegmaria
Linnaeus

.
"Habitat in Malabaria, Zeylona." RCN: 7962.
Type not designated.
Original material:
Herb. Hermann 4: 5, No. 386 (
BM
)
; [icon] in Breyn, Exot. Pl. Cent.: 180, t. 92. 1678; [icon] in Dillenius, Hist. Musc.: 450, t. 61, f. 5. 1741; [icon] in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 12: 27, t. 14. 1693.
Current name:
Huperzia phlegmaria
(L.) Rothm.
(
Lycopodiaceae
).
Note:
Roux (
Consp. S. African Pteridophyta
: 19. 2001) stated that
Dillenius'
t. 61, f. 5A, B, C (1741) "is eligible as
lectotype
", following
Ollgaard
(in
Biol. Skr.
34: 61. 1989) but this is not a formal typification. Verdcourt (in Beentje & Ghazanfar,
Fl. Trop. E. Africa,
Lycopodiaceae
: 9. 2005) indicated the same illustration as the
lectotype
but this was published after 1 Jan 2001 and so the omission of the phrase "designated here" or an equivalent (Art. 7.11) means that the choice is not effective.
