Abstract

Five new combinations in the lycophyte family Selaginellaceae are made and transferred from Selaginella sensu lato. These five names include Boreoselaginella baodongii, B. sajanensis, Chuselaginella neei, C. negrosensis, and Hypopterygiopsis odishana. We also designated the lectotypes of S. neei and S. negrosensis.
