Zealandia pustulata cannot be found at Plants of the world online. It is found at IPNI, but IPNI is a source of names, and (usually) gives no indication of a name's acceptance or otherwise. POWO (Plants of the world online) on the other hand, always states whether it considers the name to be accepted or a synonym. The name Microsorum pustulatum is the name currently accepted by the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHAH). See APNI: Microsorum pustulatum with its APC tick of approval. GRIN also gives Microsorum pustulatum as the accepted name. On the other hand, Plants of the World online asserts that Microsorum pustulatum is a synonym for Phymatosorus pustulatus subsp. pustulatus (G.Forst.) M.F.Large, Braggins & P.S.Green. Yet Large Braggins & Green's 1992 article (included in the references for Zealandia pustulata) replaces Polypodium pustulatum with Phymatosorus pustulatus.

The lack of an entry at POWO for Zealandia pustulata would seem to indicate that the page move from Microsorum pustulatum to Zealandia pustulata is not currently justified. MargaretRDonald (talk) 00:08, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
