Which is a genus of more species, Dryopteris or Alonsoa?
Dryopteris Dryopteris , commonly called wood fern, male fern (referring in particular to "Dryopteris filix-mas"), or buckler fern, is a genus of about 250 species of ferns with distribution in Eastern Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Pacific islands, with the highest species diversity in eastern Asia. Many of the species have stout, slowly creeping rootstocks that form a crown, with a vase-like ring of fronds. The sori are round, with a peltate indusium. The stipes have prominent scales.
Banksia densa Banksia densa is a shrub endemic to Western Australia. It was known as Dryandra conferta until 2007, when all "Dryandra" species were transferred to "Banksia" by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele. As there was already a plant named "Banksia conferta" (Glasshouse Banksia), Mast and Thiele were forced to choose a new specific epithet; their choice, "densa", is from the Latin "densus" ("thick, close, compact"), in reference to the way the leaves are densely crowded around the inflorescences.
