• Type: "Hunter & Paterson Rivers, Oct.–Nov. 1804, R.Brown Iter Austral. 9 (lecto: BM 001038308*; possible isolecto: E 00208906*, E 00499022*, K 001044197*"

• Text: "Hovenkamp (1986, p. 168) cited the type of the name Polypodium confluens as ‘Type: Robert Brown, s.n., 9 Oct.–Nov. 1804 (holo: BM), Australia, Hunters and Patersons River.’ This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Hovenkamp, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Hovenkamp’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
