Note
Phlegmariurusaustralis (Willd.) A.R.Field is an earlier name for the Polynesian black-stem tassel-fern recognised by Field and Bostock (2013)[2] as P.subtrifoliatus (Brownlie) A.R.Field & Bostock. It occurs in Polynesia, where it is the sole, and easternmost, vicariant of the P.phlegmaria group. It also occurs in eastern Melanesia and in sympatry with Phlegmariurustrifoliatus (Copel.) A.R.Field & Bostock in Fiji. Phlegmariurusaustralis can be distinguished by its shorter ovate leaves and smaller shoot diameter compared with the longer lanceolate leaves and larger overall size of P.trifoliatus.
