Derrick Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Lecanopteris deparioides Ces. (1876) John Gilbert Baker published this new combination in the Journal of Botany, British and Foreign 10, page 366, (1881), as an addition to his description in English of a supposedly new species he named L. Curtisii (sic.), but they are the same species. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/34839810#page/381/mode/1up p366. Baker based his new combination of Lecanopteris deparioides on Dicksonia Deparioides (sic.) by Vincenzo de Cesati, supposedly published in Filices Borneenses 13, t4, fig8, (1876.) However, according to Tropicos, http://www.tropicos.org/Name/50250532 Cesati actually published the basionym as Davallia Deparioides (sic.) in Atti della R. Accademia delle Scienze Fisiche e Matematiche di Napoli 7, 8, (1876) but original not yet available digitally. Nevertheless, although not the original publication, this entry in the Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society; In a section entitled, The Ferns of Borneo, p37, (1878) thus written near to 1876, also notes that L. deparioides Baker was based on Davallia deparioides Ces., in Filices Borneenses: fougères receuillies par les expéditions de messieurs Nieuwenhius et Hallier dans la partie équatoriale de Bornéo, par H. Christ, 13, pl. 4, fig.8. (1876.) abbreviation = Fil. Born. Again not yet available digitally, but see: http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/41737985#page/263/mode/1up p37. L. curtisii (1881) and L. deparioides (1876) are identical species, which surely makes the former merely a synonym. Incidentally, Tropicos does not list L. curtisii at all. Dr Honor Gay & Gay et al. (1990- 1994) in their various invaluable Lecanopteris papers, used the name L. curtisii Baker, which I think is incorrect.

Derrick Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 In this example, as far as I can ascertain, L. deparioides is the correct name, and L. Curtisii (sic) as used by Gay & Huxley et al. in their 1994 study, is an error. I have no idea why such world leading botanists should regularly use a 'modern' specific epithet with a capital letter. It certainly make me wonder if there is something here I don't know that I should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 It seems no one reads my posts thoroughly. Although I found this error and have already corrected it in my book, no one noticed the glaring inconsistency in these copies. I have now corrected it by adding the prefix in (red type) to the word correct (see above). Dr Honor Gay & Gay et al. (1990- 1994) in their various invaluable Lecanopteris papers, used the name L. curtisii Baker, which I think is incorrect.
