• Type: "Norfolk Island, A.Cunningham 34 (lecto: K 001092707*"

• Text: "Green (1994, p. 611) cited the type of the name Lomaria norfolkiana as ‘Norfolk Island, A.Cunningham 34 ; holo: K’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Green, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Green’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
