Linnaeus

Mantissa Plantarum Altera
: 311. 1771
.
"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei. Koenig. 39." RCN: 8365.
Type not designated.
Original material:
Herb. Linn. No. 1275.9 (
LINN
)
;
Koenig

,
Herb. Linn. No. 1275.31, lower right specimen (
LINN
)
;
Koenig
s.n.
,
Herb. Linn. No. 1275.8, left specimen (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Splachnidium rugosum
(L.) Grev.
(
Splachnidiaceae
).
Note:
Unusually, there is a
syntype
(
Koenig
39
, 1275.31 LINN) in existence for this name but, unfortunately, its identity does not correspond with the generally accepted usage of
S. rugosum
(L.) Grev.
Ulva rugosa
may therefore prove to be a candidate for conservation (see Spencer & al. in
Taxon
, in press).
