• Type: "southern India, s. dat., J.G.König s.n. (lecto: LD 1122315*; possible isolecto: K 000951406*"

• Text: "Fischer (1932, p. 75) listed specimens housed at LD that were collected by J. G. König and used by A. J. Retzius in preparation of his Observationes botanicae. Fischer (p. 50) stated ‘in the list the type specimens are shown in thicker type’. Dryopteris prolifera (Retz.) C.Chr. is listed on p. 75 in bold type, with the statement ‘the type, described as Hemionitis prolifera Retz., Obs. vi. 38’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Fischer, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018)."
