Asplenium serratum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1079. 1753.

"Habitat in America calidiore." RCN: 7832.

Lectotype (Proctor in Howard, Fl. Lesser Antilles 2: 313. 1977): [icon] "Lingua Cervina longo, lato, serratoquefolio" in Plumier, Descr. Pl. Amér .: 27, t. 39. 1693.

Current name: Asplenium serratum L. ( Aspleniaceae).

Note: Morton & Lellinger (in Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 15: 9. 1966) wrongly indicated a Sloane description as type (there is no illustration). This choice (which is contrary to Art. 8.1) was rejected by Proctor in favour of a Plumier plate.
