This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hovenkamp PH, Miyamoto F (2005): A conspectus of the native and naturalized species of Nephrolepis (Nephrolepidaceae) in the world. Blumea 50: 279-322, URL: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea/2005/00000050/00000002/art00004SUMMARYAll species of the genus Nephrolepis are reviewed and described. 19 species are recognized, with 3 varieties, and 7 putative or confrmed hybrids are briefly discussed. Two new combinations are made, of which one as the result of a transferral of species to varietal rank. One variety and two hybrids are described as new.
