Tectaria psomiocarpa S.Y.Dong , nom. nov. for Polybotrya apiifolia J.Sm. ex Kunze (1844: 142) . Psomiocarpa

apiifolia (J.Sm. ex Kunze) Presl (1851: 161) . Acrostichum apiifolium (J.Sm. ex Kunze) Hooker (1864: 248) .

Type :— PHILIPPINES. Luzon, 1936–1940, Cuming 26 (holotype MICH!, isotypes E!, MO!, P!) .

Blocking name:— Tectaria apiifolia ( Schkuhr 1809: 198) Copeland (1907: 410) . Type:— JAMAICA. Without locality, Sloane s.n. (holotype? BM!).

Note:— Psomiocarpa C. Presl (1851: 161) is currently an accepted genus containing only one species, P. apiifolia (Schkuhr) Copeland (1907: 410) ( Holttum 1991a) . Our molecular analyses (Ding et al., unpubl. data), however, do not support the monophyly of Psomiocarpa , as P. apiifolia is constantly embedded with Tectaria species in all resulting phylogenetic trees. Thus, in taxonomic treatment P. apiifolia should be transferred into Tectaria . Since an earlier T. apiifolia (Schkuhr) Copeland (1907: 410) exists, which is based on material from Jamaica, we have to propose a new name for P. apiifolia , Tectaria psomiocarpa .

Tectaria subvariolosa S.Y.Dong , nom. nov. for Tectaria stenosemioides Tardieu & C.Christensen (1938: 88) . Type:— VIETNAM. Quang Tri: Vinh Linh (Liem-Cong), July 1910, Cadière 14 (holotype P!, isotypes BM!, P!). Blocking name:— Tectaria stenosemioides ( van Alderwerelt van Rosenburgh 1920: 164) Christensen (1934: 184) .

Type:— INDONESIA. Sumatra: Sibolangit , 4 June 1917, Lorzing 5161 (holotype BO) .
