Plocamium pusillum Sonder Botanische Zeitung 3: 54 (Sonder 1845). TYPE LOCALITY. — ad oras occidentales Novae Hollandiae. The type specimen was epiphytic on a stem of Amphibolis . LECTOTYPE (here designated). — MEL 1005815 (Fig.2). Note: Sonder (1845) did not cite a specific specimen, but later (1846) gave ‘ Herb. Preiss No. 2613’. This number does not appear on MEL 1005815, which may suggest the existence of additional specimens in other herbaria. However, since we are unaware of any further specimens, we herein lectotypify the species with the single MEL specimen.
