Type Information
Type locality: "Fazenda Paty, north west of Aracaju, State of Sergipe, Brazil (Map 1, locality B). UTM 24S 0691860E 8804268N (latitude: 10°48'27.256"S; longitude: 37°14'42.47" W, see Google Maps: -10.807 572 -37.245131)."; (Woelkerling, Granier & Dias-Brito 2014: 142) Notes: "Holotype preparation: PC0703992 (thin section UPAFSE 0065), prepared from a rock sample collected by Dimas DIAS-BRITO on 5 Fe-bruary 2009). Fig. 1a.
Holotype specimen: The holotype specimen, designated here, and depicted in Figs. 2-3, 4, 6, 7, consists of five pieces of thallus with empty sporangial complexes occurring on thin section PC0703992 (UPAFSE 0065) (Fig. 1a). With one exception, these pieces all extend to the same place along the edge of the thin section and thus may belong to a single thallus. Thallus material beyond the edge was lost during thin section preparation.
Thin section PC0703992 (UPAFSE 0065) also includes six other fragments (two with cavities) that resemble holotype material vegetatively, but these fragments have been excluded from consideration as type material because they lack clear sporangial complexes and thus cannot definitely be identified as H. poignantii."

Fossil
Described as a fossil.
