Roux (1986) followed this conclusion. 1827. Blume misapplied Darea furcata (P. J. Bergius, 1786) Willd. (1810), and often he is cited as if he had described a new species. In fact he did not do so: he misidentified his Javanese specimens with Bergius’s species originally described from Bourbon (Réunion). He distinguished three new varieties without references to previous literature and they are validly published. Remarkably, these names are not or exceptionally mentioned in the usual reference works and local floras. As Willdenow also cited Lonchitis bipinnata Forsskal (1775) as a synonym, D. furcata is a super- fluous name and Blume did not create an (unpublished) autonym that would have had priori- ty. It is stated in the code that superfluous names have no autonym (Art. 26.1). Darea furcata is derived from Caenopteris furca- ta P.J. Bergius (1786) and currently regarded to be a synonym of A . rutifolium (P.J. Bergius) Kunze, but at the specific level the correct name should be A. bipinnatum (Forsskal) Kunze. Darea furcata Willd. var. elongata Blume, Enum. 2: 207. 1827. — Lectotype: Blume s.n. (L, holo, sh. 908.317- 427), designated here. INTRODUCTION A fern widespread from the Seychelles to South- east Asia, Southern China, Northern Australia, to the Caroline Isl., Fiji, Marquesas, Tahiti, and occasionally cultivated world-wide is known with different varietal names of A splenium tenerum G. Forst. (1786) (Aspleniaceae), or recognized at the specific level as A . belangeri (Bory) Kunze (1848), or A . thunbergii Kunze (1836). The best known name seems to be A . thunbergii Kunze var. belangeri (Bory) Kunze. However, the correct name turned out to be a nomenclatural Gordian knot, which we have tried to unravel here. A chronological sequence of publications seemed most appropriate, which have to be interspersed with later publications in an attempt at clarification of the consequences. The nomenclatural articles cited here are according to the International code of nomenclature (ICN: McNeill et al., 2012). 1786. Asplenium tenerum G. Forst. is the oldest name for the species. — Lectotype: Forster s.n. (UPS, T-24851; not found in BM, K, S, W), fide Nicolson & Fosberg (2004), designated here. 1795. Caenopteris auriculata Thunb. was thought to have been collected in the Cape of Good Hope. Kunze (1836) renamed it to A splenium thunbergii because of A. auriculatum Sw. (1817). Schelpe (1965) examined Thunberg’s type specimens and concluded that they were mislabelled and represent A . belangeri (Bory) ASPLENIUM TENERUM VAR. PALLIDUM IS THE CORRECT NAME FOR A.

Beddome ex Rosenstock (1908) appeared in a list of names of ferns collected by E. Werner in New Guinea. There is an A . elongatum Sw. in various Beddome publications (1863, 1892) which for some reason he regarded as a new combination. We found no var. elongatum Beddome. He recognised only the var. acuminatum Hook., based on A . doreyi Kunze (1837). Rosenstock (1911) did see the Blume material of var. elongata in L and we suspect he erred when citing Beddome. Van Alderwerelt (1916) erroneous- ly cited this (in synonymy) as A . tenerum var. elongatum Rosenst. Neither mentioned Blume’s name. This does not seem to be a new combination by Beddome, as it is A . elongatum Sw. (1806). This was regarded as a synonym of A . tenerum by Mettenius (1866), Van Alderwerelt (1916), and Copeland (1960). We thought it best to avoid this combination because of these dubious uses. Darea furcata Willd. var. rigida Blume, Enum. 2: 207. 1827. — Lectotype: Blume s.n. (L, holo, sh. 908.317- 457), designated here. Darea furcata Willd. var. pallida Blume, Enum. 2: 207. 1827. — Lectotype: Blume 1068 (L, holo, sh. 908.317- 384), Java, Cibitung waterfall, designated here. The choice here between var. rigida and var. pallida is arbitrary: flip of the coin. 1833. Darea belangeri Bory was based on material collected by Bélanger in Java. 1836. Asplenium thunbergii var. β Kunze. He cited also Madeira as its provenance. Notwithstanding reports in the literature, Kunze did not make the combination A . thunbergii var. belangeri here. 1848. Kunze mentioned A . thunbergii var. belangeri in the synonymy of A . belangeri (Bory) Kunze, whereby the combination is invalid. He stated that the report for Madeira was erroneous. 1857. However, A . belangeri (Bory) Kunze is a lat- er homonym of A . belangeri Bory (1833), and Moore (1857) replaced it by A . veitchianum T. Moore. The earliest varietal name was provided by Blume (1827) and the ensuing combination is proposed here: Asplenium tenerum G. Forst. var. pallidum (Blume) Veldk. & Wardani, comb. nov.
