Trichomanes crispum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1097. 1753, typ. cons.

"Habitat in Martinica." RCN: 7945.

Lectotype (Proctor in Howard, Fl. Lesser Antilles 2: 95. 1977): [icon] "Polypodium crispum, caliciferum" in Plumier, Traité Foug. Amér.: 67, t. 86. 1705.

Generitype of Trichomanes Linnaeus, nom. cons.

Current name: Trichomanes crispum L. (Hymenophyllaceae).

Note: Trichomanes crispum, with the type designated by Proctor, was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in Taxon 41: 571. 1992). The Committee for Pteridophyta (in Taxon 48: 133. 1999) recommended conservation as proposed, and it was approved by the General Committee (in Taxon 48: 377. 1999). However, subsequent Codes have not listed the Plumier plate (proposed as the generitype), so the plate is a lectotype, rather than a conserved type.
