Ind.: 227, tab. 66, fig. 1. 1768. ≡ Lygodium pedatum (Burm. f.) Sw. , Syn. Fil.: 154. 1806 [nom. illeg.] [non L. pedatum Sw. in J. Bot. (Schrader) 1800(2): 106. 1801]. Lectotypus (designated here): INDONESIA . Java : s.d., Pryon s.n. ( G-PREL [ G00800094 ]!). = Lygodium circinnatum (Burm. f.) Sw. , Syn. Fil.: 153. 1806. Notes. – The original material of this species includes a plate ( BURMAN, 1768 : tab. 66, fig. 1) ( Fig. 1 ) and a single specimen in G-PREL [G00800094] collected by Pryon from Java . Alectotype is therefore designated on the Pryon specimen in G-PREL. MERRILL (1921: 336) erroneously recognized the illegitimate name Lygodium pedatum over L. circinnatum following page priority. The name L. circinnatum is currently generally accepted for this species ( ALSTON & HOLTTUM, 1959 ; HOLTTUM, 1959a ).
