CYCLOPHORUS Desvaux 
♦CYCLOPHORUS LONGIFOLIUS (Burm. f.) Desv. in Berl. Mag. 5 (1811) 
301. 
Acrosticum longifolium Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 228. “Habitat in 
Java.” 
Burman’s description is the basis of Cyclophorus longifolius 
Desv., a species of uncertain status within the genus, but in all 
probability a synonym of C. adnascens (Sw.) Desv., or C. varius 
(Kaulf.) Gaudich. The description was based on a Javan 
specimen collected by Pryon, and a reference to Asplenium. 
longifolium Petiver Gaz. 310, t. 61, f. 2, U. His specific name is 
older than either of these or than Cyclophorus acrostichoides 
(Forst.) Presl, another suggested reduction of the species, but 
the exact status of Acrosticum longifolium Burm. f. cannot be 
determined from the imperfect description alone. 
GLEICHENIACEAE 
GLEICHENIA Smith 
GLEICH EN I A LINEARIS (Burm. f.) C. B. Clarke in Trans. Linn. Soc. 
Bot. 1 (1880) 428. 
Polypodium lineare Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 236, t. 66, f. 4. “Habitat 
in Java.” 
Burman’s actual type is a Javan specimen. He adds a refer- 
ence to Linn. FI. Zeyl. 201. The species is a well-known and 
characteristic one of wide distribution, and Burman’s excellent 
figure leaves no doubt as to the exact form intended by his 
description. 
SCHIZAEACEAE 
LYGODIUM Swartz 
LYGODIUM PEDATUM (Burm. f.) Sw. in Shrad. Journ. 1800 2 (1801) 106. 
Ophioglossum pedatum Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 227, t. 66, /. 1. 
Ophioglossum circinnatum Burm. f. op. cit. 228. 
Lygodium circinnatum Sw. Syn. (1806) 153. 
Ophioglossum pedatum Burm. f. was based on a Javan speci- 
men, and O. circinnatum Burm. f. on a Javan specimen with a 
reference to Adianthum volubili polypodioides Rumph. Herb. 
Amb. 6: 76, t. 33, and Petiver Gaz. t. 6 k, f. 10. Page priority 
will involve the acceptance of Burman’s specific name pedatum, 
for both of his descriptions apply to a single well-known and 
widely distributed species.
