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 />
