Abstract

A new name, Pterostylis neopolyphylla M. Idrees & J. M. H. Shaw (Orchidaceae), is proposed as a replacement name for Diplodium polyphyllum D. L. Jones & C. J. French because the previously published name for this taxon in Pterostylis R. Br., P. polyphylla (D. L. Jones & C. J. French) D. L. Jones & C. J. French, is an illegitimate later homonym of P. polyphylla Colenso.
