Kew Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The complex nomenclatural history of the species now known as Amblovenatum terminans (Panigrahi) J.P.Roux (Thelypteridaceae) is discussed and characters to distinguish it from two species it has been confused with are presented. The new combination Amblovenatum decorum (Domin) S.Linds. & D.J.Middleton is made.
