Majumdar, Shuvadeep & Bruggeman-Nannenga, M. A., 2022, Lectotypification of the name Fissidens arunii (Fissidentaceae: Bryophyta), Phytotaxa 577 (1), pp. 150-150 : 150

Fissidens arunii J.P.Srivast. & Nork., Proc. Bot. Soc. Kanpur ( India) 1: t. 55, fig. 1. 1988.

Lectotype (designated here): Maharashtra, Khandala , 13.09.1970, A.H. Norkett 14266 [BM 001059776]): INDIA, Maharashtra, Khandala, on hard earth beneath tree, Sept. 13 1970, Norkett 14266 (BM 001059776!)

Bruggeman-Nannenga (2019) denoted the above specimen as neotype of F. arunii J.P. Srivast. & Nork. This specimen, however, is part of the original material. Therefore, it is a lectotype rather a neotype. Since the choice was not formalized by adding “designated here” ( Turland et al., 2018, Art. 7.11, Ex. 12), a simple correction of neotype into lectotype is not possible ( Turland et al., 2018, Art. 9.10). The name therefore is lectotypified here.
