Abstract
SUMMARY Some remarks on the taxonomy and nomenclature of the Marattiaceae are made. The Marattiaceae, consisting of the genera Marattia and Protomarattia, are treated as one of the four living families of the order of Marattiales. The family name Marattiaceae is illegitimate, since it was nomenclaturally superfluous when published. It is used here in the hope that this name will be included in the list of the Nomina Familiarum Conservanda. Marattia is the only genus of the family in the area of the Flora Aethiopica. It is represented there by Marattia fraxinea, which occurs in the regions of Ilubabor, Kaffa and Sidamo. The taxonomy of Marattia fraxinea and of its closely related species is studied. On the basis of examination of the type specimens, Myriotheca fraxinifolia Bory, Myriotheca sorbifolia Bory, Marattia oppositifolia Smith, Marattia macrophylla de Vriese, Marattia cuneiformis de Vriese and Marattia robusta Alston are regarded as heterotypic synonyms of Marattia fraxinea, while Marattia salicifolia Schrad., Marattia purpurascens de Vriese, Marattia microcarpa Mett. ex Kuhn and Marattia odontosora Christ are considered as independent species. The species shows a high degree of polymorphism and the field of variability of the most important characteristics is taken into consideration.
