Type Information
Type locality: Neuchâtel ; (Trobajo & al. 2006: 1357) Lectotype: BM; 26835 (Trobajo & al. 2006: 1357) Notes: According to Blanco (2016: 109), Krammer & Lange-Bertalot (1988) designated a lectotype using a specimen from Cleve & Möller's exsicattae ('Lectotypus, Cleve & Möller 174, Neuchâl, Schweiz, p. 366, which is presumed to be part of the original material because it is labelled "N. "palea" var. fonticola' and fits Grunow's description. They consider the subsequent attempt of superseding this lectotype with other material to be unjustified.
