• Text: Chambers and Farrant (1998, p. 369) cited the type of the name Blechnum cartilagineum as ‘Nova Hollandia, coll. Unknown; holo: SPA [F.W.Sieber, Syn. Fil. No. 123]; iso: MEL’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Chambers and Farrant, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Chambers and Farrant’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, their use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
