Nomenclatural note
Woelkerling & al. (2020: 9) note, "In the context of the current ICN, the basionym of Rhodophyllis bifida (J.V.Lamouroux) Kützing (1847:23) is Delesseria bifida J.V.Lamouroux (Lamouroux 1813a: 125), a replacement name for Fucus bifidus Turner (Turner 1811: 43), in turn an illegitimate later homonym of the legitimate binomial Fucus bifidus S.G.Gmelin (Gmelin 1768: 201) [currently known as Arthrothamnus bifidus (S.G.Gmelin) J Agardh (1868: 28)]. In accord with Art. 6.11, Fucus bifidus Turner (Turner 1811: 43) is the replaced synonym of the replacement name Delesseria bifida J.V.Lamouroux (Lamouroux 1813a: 125), and in accord with Art. 7.4, D. bifida and all combinations based on D. bifida are typified by the nomenclatural type of F. bifidus Turner." - (01 September 2020) - M.D. Guiry
