• Text: "Alston and Holttum (1959, p. 15) cited the type of the name Ophioglossum flexuosum as ‘Hermann 375 from Ceylon (BM)’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Alston and Holttum, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because their citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, their use of the term ‘type’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
