NOMENCLATURAL COMMENTS Schelpe (1967) cited two sheets at K as the lectotype of Blechnum bakeri, and only conducted the valid first-step lectotypification of the name (Art. 9.17 of ICN; Turland et al. 2018). Since those two sheets at K are not clearly labeled as being part of a single specimen (Art. 8.3 of ICN; Turland et al. 2018), we here conducted the second-step lectotypification, selecting the sheet with two isolated sterile fronds (annotated E, F). From the same sheet K 000424012, the two fertile fronds (annotated G, H) are excluded from the lectotype, as they must be following the first-step lectotypification (Schelpe 1967); we however ascribed the fertile frond H to Cranfillia bakeri Vázquez Ferreira & S. Molino, comb. nov., while frond G was ascribed to Lomaridium biforme (Baker) Gasper & V. A. O. Dittrich. In the protologue of Blechnum bakeri var. glabrum, Bonaparte (1918) cited C. d’Alleizette 82 (in the Bonaparte’s Herbarium) as the type. This gathering is represented by a single sheet at P, which is the holotype; Rakotondrainibe et al. (2013) erroneously cited P 00483199 as an isotype, as this latter sheet in fact belongs to the distinct gathering C. d’Alleizette 82 m (i. e. including “ m ” as a suffix).	en	Bauret, Lucie, Vázquez, Rubén, Molino, Sonia, Gaudeul, Myriam, Rakotondrainibe, France, Gasper, André Luís de, Rouhan, Germinal (2020): New molecular and morphological evidences favor a combination of Blechnum bakeri C.
