Selliguea plantaginea is a fern species in the genus Selliguea.
A holotype, collected on the Iles du Vent, Tahiti, in 1838 during the Wilkes expedition, is held at United States National Herbarium, Smithsonian Institution (Herbarium code: US)[11]
Selliguea plantaginea has often been confused with S. feeoides, but differs in that S. feeoides has frequent hydathodes on the upper surface of the fronds, while in S. plantaginea, hydathodes are absent or infrequent.[12]
Distribution
Selliguea plantaginea has been found in Sulawesi, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, and the Society Islands (Tahiti and Huahine).[12][13]
