Autorité : Alternativement citée comme "Fée & L'Herm. 1866", "Fée 1866" ou "Fée & L'Herm. ex Fée 1866". Le seul auteur, Fée, attribue le nom a "Fée & L'Herm.", mais n'indique que L'Herminier ait eu une quelconque contribution dans l'élaboration de la diagnose (voir en particulier p. x): la citation correcte est donc "Fée & L'Herm. ex Fée 1866".

Date de publication : Mém. Foug., 11: 6, t. 2. 1866 [11-12/1866, fide TL-2, 1756 & 1757].

Taxonomie : Dans sa révision du genre Polybotrya Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd. 1810, R.C. Moran (Bull. Illinois Nat. Hist. Surv., 34(1): 106-108. 11/1987) traite P. cyathifolia comme une espèce très proche de Polybotrya osmundacea Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd. 1810, endémique de Guadeloupe et de Martinique et indique: "Polybotrya cyathifolia is very much like P. osmundacea, but it differs by the shape of its tertiary segments, the resinous punctate glands, and by the long-pilose hairs on the axes. The best way to distinguish P. cyathifolia is by the costal groove hairs that copiously fill and protrude from the groove, especially at the junctures (Fig. 49c). Polybotrya osmundacea, on the other hand, usually has very short hairs (0.1-0.2 mm long) in the groove. An important tendency in lamina cutting is for the basal tertiary segments to be slightly gibbous at its base on both sides (Fig. 49c). This gives the pinnules a characteristic appearance, although it is somewhat difficult to describe. Polybotrya osmundacea rarely has these lobules and, if so, they are developed only on the acroscopic side. Most specimens of P. cyathifolia have the abaxial surface of the lamina covered with punctate, resinous glands (Fig. 49h); P. osmundacea rarely has such glands. Specimens examined: Guadeloupe, "near the house of Mr. Bovie," L'Herminier s.n. (P, GH. L, fragment NY). Martinique. Duss 1503 (NY, US), 3897 (NY), 4719 (F, US); Hahn s.n. (P); Belanger s.n. (F).".

Type : "3. [Polybotrya] cyathifolia, F. et L'Herm. [...] Habitat in Guadalupa (L'Herminier, 1864). [...] Icon.: Tab. II. [...] Cette belle espèce, que M. L'Herminier n'a récoltée que dans une seule localité, près de l'habitation Bovie, a quelques rappors avec le P. osmundacea, H. B., par les frondes stériles, mais elle en diffère absolument par les frondes fertiles, grêles, à petits segments courts, qui leur donnent un aspect appauvri." [protologue].
