Abstract:
Evidence is presented to recognise the poorly known name Fucus serra S.G. Gmel. as a member of Gelidium and that it
is an older and available name for the taxon currently known as Gelidium bipectinatum G. Furnari (in Furnari et al.).
Gelidium serra (S.G. Gmel.) E. Takin & M.J. Wynne comb. nov. is proposed. Plate 8, Figure 3 in Buxbaum (Fucus
humilis), which was part of the protologue in Gmelins account of Fucus serra, is herein designated the lectotype of
Fucus serra S.G. Gmelin. A collection made by J. Feldmann now in MICH is proposed to serve as the epitype of
Gelidium serra.
