[Aroid-l] Fw: Epiphytes. And I may be nuts!

From: lbmkjm at yahoo.com (brian lee) on 2008.06.02 at 22:26:25(17693) Dear Steve, Aloha. First off, I am not a pteridologist or fern and fern ally specialist....so I may be wrong. Many, but not all botanists use Ollgaard, B. 1987. A revised classification of the Lycopodiaceae s. lat. Opera Botanica 92:153-178., as the reference for these plants. Those plants originally described under Plegmariurus, are now considered Huperzia under this treatment. Vegetatively, the plant you show looks like it falls into the Phlegmaria group of Huperzia. Perhaps a pteridologist on this forum can make a better determination for you. Many of the earlier names were lumped into Lycopodium... Here in Hawaii, the genus Huperzia is used for the species once classified under Lycopodium or Phlegmariurus.
