61. Trichomanes pinnatum Hedw., Fil. Gen. & Sp.
tab. 4, fig. 1. 1799. Neotype: (designated here):
Guadeloupe, Basse Terre, Cascade aux Écrevisses,
Christenhusz 3968 (BM!, duplicates P!, TUR!). The
protologue (Hedwig, 1799) mentioned that the material
studied for this illustration came from Jamaica,
perhaps based on material sent by Swartz; however,
no specimen of this species is known to have ever
been collected in Jamaica. The figure in Hedwig
(1799: tab. 4, fig. 1), selected as lectotype by Proctor
(1977) has insufficient detail to be able to apply the
name with certainty to any actual specimens. Trichomanes
pinnatum hence became a broadly applied
species name, but specimens identified with this
name appear polymorphic and most likely belong to
different species. Further studies on this species
complex are necessary, which will greatly benefit
from this neotypification.
