• Type: "lieux inonde a Kanala [inundated places in Kanala], New Caledonia, 1855–1860, Vieillard 1698 (lecto: P 00636716!; isolecto: BR 0013306007*, K 001092629*, P 00636714!, P 00636715!, S S-P-17878*, US 00048793!"

• Text: "Tindale (1956) cited the type of the name Marsilea mutica as ‘holotype: lieux inondé à Kanala, New Caledonia, Viellard No. 1698, 1855-60 (P.), also 2 isotypes (P.)’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Tindale, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Tindale’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, her use of the term ‘holotype’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
