Type status:
Lectotype : Herb. Linn. No. 1245.2 (LINN)

Identified by:
Schelpe & Anthony in Leistner (ed.), Fl. Southern Africa, Pteridophyta : 51 (1986)
ID references:
Species Plantarum 2 : 1068 (1753)
ID remarks:
Verdcourt (in Beentje, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Schizaeaceae: 2. 2000) rejected the type choice of Schelpe & Anthony because they incorrectly referred to 1245.2 (LINN) as the holotype, and designated a Morison plate in its place. However, under Art. 9.8, their type statement is correctable to lectotype, and their choice has priority. .
Location remarks:
"Habitat in Aethiopia."
