All modern collections of this plant, and some of the old ones, appear identified as B. auratum (Fée 1857: 71) R. M. Tryon & Stolze (1993: 67) subsp. auratum (L. aurata (Fée) Gasper & A. R. Sm. in Gasper et al. 2016: 213), B. schomburgkii (Klotzsch 1847: 346) C. Christ (1905: 159) (L. schomburgkii (Klotzsch) Gasper & A. R. Sm. in Gasper et al. 2016: 213), B. columbiense Hieronymus (1908: 244) (L. columbiensis (Hieron.) Gasper & A. R. Sm. in Gasper et al. 2016: 213) or even sometimes as B. tabulare (Thunberg 1800: 171) Kuhn (1868: 94) (L. tabularis (Thunb.) Gasper & A. R. Sm. in Gasper et al. 2016: 213). The group has been reviewed by Rolleri et al. (2012) who think that B. auratum and B. schomburgkii are conspecific (an idea that we respect here, although it is not relevant to our results) and who describe B. columbiense as a readily differentiable plant due to the heavily enrolled pinnae. Lomariocycas moritziana differs from L. schomburgkii by the base of the laminae (truncate in L. mortiziana vs. attenuate in L. schomburgkii), and the number (25 – 30 in L. moritziana vs. 40 – 50 in L. schomburgkii), disposition (horizontal in L. moritziana vs. markedly ascendant in L. schomburgkii), margins (flat in L. mortiziana vs. revolute in L. schomburgkii) and base (sub-petiolulate in L. moritziana vs. sessile in L. schomburgkii) of sterile pinnae (Table 1). Also, other anatomical details in epidermal cells and in spores differ between both taxa (Rolleri et al. 2012). Under this circumscription, L. moritziana is distributed from Venezuela to North Argentina, being particularly well represented in the Northern Andean area (Figure 1). The type of L. moritziana, deposited in B, consists only of fragments of fertile fronds, which thus does not clearly show diagnostic characters. There are isotypes in BM and K, and also other pieces deposited in B, probable fragments of either the holotype or isotypes, in which the specimens show complete sterile and fertile fronds (Figure 2). The observation of these types clearly reveals that the outline of laminae and the pinnae features correspond exactly to what was described as Blechnum yungense (Ramos 2010). Therefore, L. moritziana is the name that should apply to B. yungense. This name has been recently transferred to Lomariocycas (Gasper et al. 2016) as L. yungensis, which in turn should be considered as synonym of L. moritziana.	en	Vicent, Maria, Gabriel, Jose Maria, Molino, Sonia (2018): One forgotten name, and another misinterpreted, in Lomariocycas (Blechnaceae, Polypodiopsida).
