  • Text: "Hymenophyllum dilatatum (G. Forst.) Sw., a large New Zealand species, was tentatively reported from Victoria by Willis (1970), as Mecodium dilatatum (G. Forst.) Copel., but it is highly probable that the one herbarium specimen from Australia (allegedly Cumberland Gorge, Marysville) was incorrectly labelled (Wakefield 1975)."

  • Text: "Although at least one specimen, allegedly from Vic., is present in MEL, this New Zealand species was excluded by M.D.Tindale (Contr. New South Wales Natl. Herb., Fl. Ser. 201: 23, 1963) and T.J.Entwisle (in N.G.Walsh & T.J.Entwisle (eds), Fl. Victoria 2: 36, 1994), on the basis of an incorrect herbarium label."
