Abstract

Pteris is the largest genus of the family Pteridaceae in India. Ambiguities persist about statuses of type specimens of some species of Pteris in India. Protologues and original material were consulted to provide unambiguous applications of names. As a result, ten species of Pteris are lectotypified here.
