• Lectotype: "America, s. dat., leg. ign. s.n. Herb. Willdenow (lecto:B-W 19437010!"

• Text: "Chinnock (1998b, p. 60) cited the type of the name Psilotum complanatum as ‘America; holo: B (Herb. Willdenow, photo AD)’. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Chinnock, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Because Chinnock’s citation meets the relevant requirements of ICN Art. 7.11, his use of the term ‘holo’ is correctable under ICN Art. 9.10."
