LYCOPODIOIDES : New combinations in Lycopodioides needed for the Flora of the Southeastern United States Project

Primary author:Alan S.Weakley

In making new combinations in Selaginellaceae (Weakley 2022) , I made an error in not recognizing that Lycopodioides Boehm. 1760 has priority over Stachygynandrum P. Beauv. ex Mirb. 1803 , if the clade treated as subgenus Stachygynandrum by Weststrand & Korall (2016a, 2016b) is accorded genus rank.While Lycopodioides Boehm. is a nom. rejic. against Selaginella P. Beauv. 1805 (nom. cons.), it is available if circumscribed as a genus separate from Selaginella , as we here do. Lycopodioides is typified by Lycopodium denticulata Linnaeus , definitely a member of the “ Stachygynandrum clade” (of Weststrand & Korall 2016a) and Selaginella subgenus Stachygynandrum (of Weststrand & Korall 2016b), and is the oldest genus name available for that clade/ subgenus.
