Pteridophytes: Ferns and lycophytes of El mundo vegetal de los Andes peruanos in the current context
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.15381/rpb.v29i3.22890Keywords:
Botanical history, ferns, lycophytes, Peru, Neotropical floraAbstract
Ferns and lycophytes were mentioned by Weberbauer in his El mundo Vegetal de los Andes peruanos to provide a hint of the richness of the group and to support his natural history observations for each category of his phytogeographic description of Peru. This contribution updates concepts and features of these plants as discussed in the chapter on “Systematic Units” and updates the 126 names of taxa cited in his book. To this end, we provide a brief history of the development of Peru’s pteridoflora studies in the context of Weberbauer’s work. We also document Weberbauer’s pteridophyte collections linked to the verification of the taxa of his examples. A framework for future research is provided to complete the biogeographic endeavor that begun with his work and highlights the need to relocate his plant collections as witnesses of his legacy.
