  • Lectotype: "Gladesville [New South Wales], on a tuft of Polypodium subauriculatum originally collected in the Cairns district, s. dat., W.W.Watts s.n. (lecto: NSW 683939*; isolecto: P 00642958!"
  • Text: "Brownsey (1998b, p. 321) cited the type of the name Asplenium parvum as ‘from a plant cultivated at Gladesville, N.S.W., on a tuft of Polypodium subauriculatum originally collected in the Cairns district, [Qld]; holo: NSW’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Brownsey, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Brownsey’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
