Lichen byssoides Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 709; Mantissa Plantarum: 133. 1767, nom. cons.

"Habitat in Europae glareosis." RCN: 8159. Conserved type ( Jørgensen & al. in Taxon 43: 649. 1994): Herb. Linn. No. 1273.2 (LINN).

Current name: Baeomyces rufus (Huds.) Rebent. ( Baeomycetaceae).

Note: See extensive discussion in Jørgensen & al. (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 115: 281. 1994). They concluded that all original elements are in conflict with the protologue, but successfully proposed the name for conservation with a conserved type.
