• Lectotype: "The Cape, South Africa, s. dat., C.P.Thunberg s.n. (lecto: UPS-THUNB 24932*; isolecto: S S-P-7759*"

• Etymology: "Brownsey (1989, p. 227) cited the type of the name Histiopteris incisa as ‘Type: The Cape [of Good Hope], South Africa, C.P. Thunberg; holo: UPS (Herb. Thunberg)’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Brownsey, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Brownsey’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
