Adiantum caudatum Linnaeus View in CoL , Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 308. 1771.

"Habitat in India orientali." RCN: 7928.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 1252.6 ( LINN) ; [icon] in Burman, Thes. Zeylan.: 8, t. 5, f. 1. 1737.

Current name: Adiantum caudatum L. View in CoL ( Pteridaceae ).

Note: Pichi Sermolli (in Webbia 12: 674. 1957) noted that 1252.6 (LINN) is from China and argued that it should be excluded from consideration as a type because of conflict with Linnaeus’ "Hab. in India orientali". He added that the cited Burman plate, which "very accurately represents A. caudatum in the form which is common in Ceylon" might be the type if Burman’s own material in G proved to have been lost.
