• Comment: Millar & Kraft 1994 Australian Systematic Botany 7:15 places the May record within Dictyopteris acrostichiodes as does Phillips 2000:295. This refers to 'the Ballina record'.
• Comment: The authority for this binomial may be incorrect. Millar & Kraft 1994 Australian Systematic Botany 7:15 places the May records within Dictyopteris acrostichiodes.
