List of species

A checklist of the Diplazium species in Malesia

For this checklist, all species occurring in Malesia have been evaluated, either on basis of the cited literature sources, or on basis of examination of the type specimens (online or up close).  I selected the sources on basis of two criteria:

  • To have as broad as possible geographic coverage
  • To include only sources that are based on a more or less critical revision covering a significant area or taxon.

In this list, only accepted names, not synonyms are included. For information on names not listed, see the full list, or use the search function.

The full list lists all combinations in Diplazium that are, for some reason or other) included on this website, with the currently accepted name or checklist status.
