Diplothmema gothanica
Taxonomy
Diplothmema gothanica was named by Iannuzzi and Pfefferkorn (2002) [Adianites gothanica was synonymized with Diplothmema bodenbenderi by Cesari (1987). The two species do belong to the same genus but they should be treated as seperate species, because character states can be consistently distinguished as outlined in the text. ].
