Type Information
Type locality: Hab. in mari atlantico ad oras Hispaniae (Hb. Agardh); (Agardh 1841: 31) Lectotype: P.K.A. Schousboe; LD; 44053a (Maggs & Hommersand 1993: 270) Notes: Maggs & Hommersand (1993), who list Tangier, Morocco as the lectotype locality, recommend consulting Schlech & Abbott (1989) for further information on the lectotype of this species. Schlech & Abbott (1989: 339) note: "Schlech has selected no. 44053 in the Agardh
Herbarium, Botanical Museum, Lund University,
as the lectotype specimen for this
species, inasmuch as no specimen has previously
been named as the holotype. Unfortunately,
the specimen is not reproductive, but
all vegetative characteristics agree well with
subsequent material identified with this species.
The lectotype material was collected by
P. K. A. Schousboe."

Irish note
Maggs & Hommersand (1993: 270) mention a possible record from Kinsale, Co. Cork (BM slide no. 11485) but other records from Ireland, such as Clare (De Valéra et al., 1979). Mayo (Cotton, 1912; Guiry, 1978), are thought to be misidentifications. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
