• Text: "Bostock (1998b, p. 197) cited the type of the name Alsophila robertsiana as ‘Rockingham Bay, Qld, J.Dallachy; holo: MEL; iso: K’. This is here treated as effective (first-step) lectotypification by Bostock in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Bostock’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10. Because five sheets from the relevant gathering are held in MEL, a single sheet of fertile material is here designated as the second-step lectotype."
