Type Information
Type locality: "In Mari Europaeo, libera vagatur in aquarum medio" [In the European Sea, free-floating freely in the middle of the waters]; (Linnaeus 1753: 1167) Lectotype [designated by Irvine in Spencer & al. 2009: 245: illustration in Dillenius, Hist. Musc.: t. 5, f. 32. 1742]: OXF; herb. Dillenius, the specimen corresponding with descriptio A. (Spencer & al. 2009: 245) Notes: Spencer & al. (2009: 245) note: "Turner (1804: 107) and Druce & Vines (1907: 189) respectively determined the Herb. Dillenius material as C. vagabunda and Cladophora fracta (O.F. Müll. ex Vahl) Kütz. Van den Hoek (1963: 19, 144) mistakenly (see Methods) cited the Herb. Dillenius material as the type of C. vagabunda ; this selection was later accepted by Burrows (1991: 174). There are two specimens in Herb. Dillenius determined by Van den Hoek (1963: 144). One, corresponding to descriptio A, is Cladophora vagabunda and the other, corresponding to descriptio B, is Cladophora sericea (Huds.) Kütz."
