Published in: Williams, B.S. 1869: Gardeners' Chronicle 29: 813.
Micro-reference (page): 813
Year: 1869
Nomenclatural Comment: Type: No original material appears to exist (Moore saw only live plants imported by Williams from New Zealand) and there are no contemporary illustrations. It would therefore be consistent with the protologue to choose a neotype from among specimens in New Zealand herbaria. The neotype here designated is a single fertile frond with a long stipe and triangular lamina, originally identified as ‘Todea hymenophylloides var. intermedia’: B.S. Parris, 26 December 1963, ‘1 mile east of Tongariro township’ [North Island, New Zealand], AK 259335!, From the Latin intermedius (intermediate), a reference to the hybrid origin of this fern, which is intermediate between L. hymenophylloides and L. superba.
