"Habitat in Jamaica." RCN: 7927.

Lectotype (Proctor, Ferns Jamaica: 242. 1985): [icon] "Trichomanes majus nigrum, pinnis leviter dentatis, trapezii figura" in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 1: 81, t. 35, f. 2. 1707. - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 1: 75 ( BM-SL) .

Note: Lellinger (in Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 23: 14. 1972) indicated unspecified and unseen material in Herb. Sloane ( BM-SL) as type but this would in any case not have been seen by Linnaeus and could not be original material for the name.
