Description

A new combination is made for Cyathea × lathamii Holttum under the genus Sphaeropteris Bernh. as S. × lathamii (Holttum) Deroliya, Sanjeet Kumar & R.Kr.Singh. The current neotype of Cyathea jacobsii Holttum is incorrect according to Article 9.13 of the ICN, as syntypes are extant at L. The specimen at L (L1259840) is designated as the lectotype for the name C. jacobsii Holttum and will supersede the previous neotypification.
