Description

Vaginularia junghuhnii Mett., Fil. Hort. Bot. Lips. 25, t. 27, f. 24–28 (1856).

Specimens examined: —Jembrana: Mt. Mesehe, 900 m, secondary forest, 16 May 2013, A. Hidayat AH5132 (BO); Tabanan: Lake Beratan, 1300 m, epiphyte, 11 April 1936, C. G. G. J. van Steenis 8098 (BO, L); Mt. Sanghyang, Penebel, 1100 m, epiphytic on living tree trunks in shaded habitat, 18 June 1977, I K. N. Rai R1 (BO); Bali Botanic Garden, 1300 m, epiphyte on Cyathea, 30 April 2009, B. Adjie BA645 (BO, THBB).

Note:—This species has often been misidentified as Vaginularia paradoxa (Fée 1852: 38) Mettenius (1869: 174) by earlier botanists, including Posthumus (1944) for material collected in Bali. Chen et al. (2017) clarified that specimens from East Asia and Malesia are more accurately referred to V. junghuhnii, distinguished by a single row of sporangia and a weakly defined midvein. Although Hassler (2025) listed Vaginularia trichoidea Fée (1852: 34) for Bali, we exclude it here due to the absence of matching specimens.
