Following a google search: The holotype of Rhamnidium orbiculatum
Britton & P. Wilson is kept at NY. You can view the type online.

I have not been as successful with the borhidi-type. In case the
location of the type is not stated in the protologue, Dr. A. Borhidi
lives in Hungary. A google search will bring up his email-address.

I hope this helps.
