• Comment: A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 922 (1991), lists the name "Davallia dubia (Gaudich.) F.Muell.... nom. illeg. – non R.Br. (1810)", with "Dicksonia dubia Gaudich.?" indicated as the base name. Mueller enclosed the name Dicksonia dubia in parentheses, which he used as in this work an indication of synonymy, and this is thus here treated as a secondary reference by Mueller to Brown's name.
