Description
editTaxonomy
editIt was first published as Psilotum inerme Newb. by John Strong Newberry in 1868.[1] It was moved to the genus Cabomba Aubl. as Cabomba inermis (Newb.) Hollick by Arthur Hollick in 1899.[2] Alternatively, it was placed in the genus Psilotites Münster as Psilotites inermis (Newb.) Schimp. by Wilhelm Philippe Schimper in 1874.[6] The fossils may also be interpreted as roots of the genus Quereuxia Krysht., and may be assigned to the species Quereuxia angulata (NEWBERRY) Kryshtofovich.[5]
Etymology
editThe specific epithet inermis means unarmed.[7]
