INDEX PTERIDOPHYTORUM GUADALUPENSIUM 273 Habitat: rare epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in mid and higher elevation forests, probably overlooked because it grows in the tree canopy. Locality: Grande Découverte, 1100 m (Vivant, 1996). DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED TAXA Asplenium auritum Sw. does not occur on Guadeloupe and was confused by Vivant (1996) with Diplazium cristatum (Desr.) Alston, a similar species. Culcita coniifolia (Hook.) Maxon is of uncertain occurrence in Guadeloupe and the continued existence of this species on the island needs to be confirmed. Proctor (1977), listed this species as a doubtful record. It was based on a account by Grisebach (1864) and it is possible that this is based on a confusion with another tree fern and that this species never occurred on the island. Dicranoglossum desvauxii (Klotzsch) Proctor was listed by Fournet & Hoff (1999), but no specimens were seen. Dicranopteris flexuosa (Schrad.) Underw. is listed for Guadeloupe as very rare by Proctor (1977). No specimens of this common and widespread species are known from Guadeloupe. Diplazium grandifolium (Sw.) Sw. was reported by Fée (1866), but the occurrence of this species in Guadeloupe needs confirmation. No specimens seen. Doryopteris concolor (Langsd. & Fisher) Kuhn was listed for Guadeloupe by Proctor (1977), but no actual specimens could be located. The species may be in cultivation. Elaphoglossum hirtum (Sw.) C.Chr. was listed for Guadeloupe by Duss (1903), but may have been based on a misidentification. There are specimens in P from Martinique, but none are known from Guadeloupe. Elaphoglossum schomburgkii (Fée) T.Moore was cited Fournet & Hoff (1999), but no specimens from Guadeloupe were found and the species was not cited for Guadeloupe by Proctor (1977). Elaphoglossum simplex (Sw.) Schott was listed for Guadeloupe by Vivant (1996), but this species is only known from the Greater Antilles. The sterile specimen found by Vivant on Guadeloupe may be misidentified. No specimens seen. Hymenophyllum sieberi Bosch was cited for Guadeloupe by Proctor (1977) and Vivant (1988), but this species has been confused with H. sericeum. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 161, 213–277
