"Habitat in China. Osbeck." RCN: 7616.

Type not designated.

Original material: none traced.

Current name: Blechnum orientale L. (Blechnaceae).

Note: Linnaeus evidently transposed the epithets “occidentale” and “orientale” in describing his two species of Blechnum in 1753. See Hansen & Fox Maule (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 67: 207. 1973) for comments on Osbeck material.
