Lomaria (Greek, loma, a forage). Polypodiaceae. A generic name for a group of ferns, sometimes recognized as distinct from Blechnum, to which they are here referred. The species of ferns classed as Lomaria in Cyclopedia of American Horticulture have been referred to Blechnum in the present edition as follows: L. ciliata -B. Moorei, C. Chr.; L. lanceolata, Spreng.-B. lanceolalum, Sturm, L. discolor, Willd.-B. discolor, Keys; L. gibba, Labill.-B. gibbum, Mett.; L. Boryana, Willd.— B. tabulare, Kuhn; L. spicant, Desv.-B. spicant, Withers; L. nipponica, Kunze-B. spicant var.; L. costaricensis -Plagiogyria; L. procera, Spreng. -Blechnum capense, Schlecht., in Trop. Amer., Afr., New Zeal., etc.: rhizome short and stout, often woody, erect or prostrate: fronds many, 1-4 ft. or even to 10 ft. and more; pinnae: usually very numerous, 12 in. or less long, the margins minutely toothed. Variable. Var. chilensis (Kaulfuss) is sometimes mentioned in horticultural literature. G. 36:45. A recent monograph on this group of ferns recognizes it as a distinct genus, but under the generic name Struthiopteris which is considered to take precedence of Lomaria.
