Lastreopsis effusa (Sw.) Tindale subsp. divergens<br />

(Willd. ex Schkuhr) Tindale was listed by Fournet<br />

& Hoff (1999), but no specimens have been found<br />

confirming this record.<br />

Lindsaea divaricata Klotzsch was listed by Proctor<br />

(1977), but no specimens of this species from<br />

Guadeloupe were located. The species may have<br />

been confused with another Lindsaea species.<br />

Melpomene flabelliformis (Poir.) A.R.Sm. &<br />

R.C.Moran was cited for Guadeloupe by Grisebach<br />

(1864), Vivant (1996) and Fournet & Hoff (1999),<br />

but this was based on confusion with Lellingeria<br />

antillensis.<br />

Pecluma recurvata (Kaulf.) Price, a species mostly<br />

known from Brazil, was recorded by Duss (1903) on<br />

the basis of his collection Duss 4093. I have not been<br />

able to locate this material to evaluate this report.<br />

Pteris biaurita L. was cited for Guadeloupe by Proctor<br />

(1977), but this may have been based on confusion<br />

with P. pungens. No specimens are known from<br />

Guadeloupe.<br />

Selaginella serpens (Desv.) Spring was listed for<br />

Guadeloupe by Proctor (1977), but no specimens<br />

from Guadeloupe were found. Sastre et al. (1983)<br />

listed the species as extinct as a result of the last<br />

volcanic eruption of La Soufrière, which seems<br />

unlikely to me.<br />

Thelypteris deltoidea (Sw.) Proctor was listed as<br />

doubtful by Proctor (1977). Its occurrence on<br />

Guadeloupe remains questionable. The species is<br />

common in the Greater Antilles.<br />

Thelypteris pachyrachis (Kunze ex Mett.) Ching was<br />

cited by Fournet & Hoff (1999), but this was most<br />

likely because of confusion with T. balbisii.<br />

Thelypteris scolopendrioides (L.) Proctor may possibly<br />

occur on Guadeloupe, even although further investigation<br />

has not resulted in any localities where the<br />

species is present. Fée (1866) listed this species for<br />

Guadeloupe based on a l’Herminier collection, as<br />

the type for Goniopteris ferax Fée, a synonym of<br />

this species. Intensive searches in P and RB have<br />

not retrieved this material.<br />
