• Lectotype: "Malaice [Malacca] simbar minganang, s. dat., D.Pryon s.n., Herb. Burmannianum (first-step lecto: G, designated by E. A. C. L. E. Schelpe and N. C. Anthony in O. A. Leistner, Fl. Southern Africa, Pteridophyta 165 (1986); second-step lecto, designated here: G00360042*)"

• Text: "Schelpe and Anthony (1986, p. 165) cited the type of the name Polypodium scolopendria as ‘India, Herb. Burmann (G, holo.!)’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Schelpe and Anthony, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Schelpe and Anthony’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, their use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
