Barry,
Remember I mentioned Howard Boyd specialty really being entymology?That other botanists have said not to rely too heavily on Boyd's book for taxonomy? That's not to discount his works, they are wonderful, just to say that for botanical nomenclature, don't consult him.
I've gone through his entire PB book and updated the botanical nomenclature to USDA nomenclature, the most up to date. Many of the changes I note are from changes in taxonomy, but some are simply just mistakes in his book. In addition, when you use both a new name and an old name, the same format should be used for consistency throughout the work as well as citing what authority was used.
Boyd's book puts the old name first about 2/3 of the time, and the new name first about 1/3 of the time, which is a bit confusing.
Anyway, I'm in the process of transferring that info to a file, and I will post each section as I complete it.
Here are the clubmosses and the ferns.
