Type Information
Lectotype locality: Sailus-Besar, Isles Paternoster; (Huisman 1996: 108) Lectotype: L; L8811-2 (Huisman 1996: 108) Notes: Syntype localities: various in Indonesia (Silva, Basson & Moe 1996; 357). According to Huisman (1996: 106), several specimens are included in the type collection housed in Leiden. Of these, the material from Borneo Bank (Makassar Strait) (L 8811-1) was designated as the lectotype by I.A. Abbott (17 iii 1969). This material consists of two specimens, one sterile and one tetrasporic. In Abbott & Littler (1969) the specimen from Saleyer Reef (L8811-3) was designated the lectotype. This specimen is sterile. As Weber- van Bosse described and illustrated (1928, fig. 207) a cystocarpic plant, neither of the specimens from Saleyer Reef (L8811-3) or Borneo Bank (L 8811-1) are representative of the protologue. Also included in the collection is a cystocarpic specimen (L8811-2) from Sailus-Besar, Isles Paternoster, that is more representative of the protologue and should be regarded as the lectotype (Huisman 1996: fig. 106)
