Lichen globiferus Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 713; Mantissa Plantarum: 133. 1767, nom. illeg.

"Habitat in Tingitana. Pluk. in Anglia. Dill. Stenbrohult Smolandiae. Filius." RCN: 8241.

Replaced synonym: Lichen globosus Huds. (1762) .

Lectotype (Wedin in Pl. Syst. Evol. 187: 230. 1993): [icon] " Coralloides cupressiforme, capitulis globosis " in Dillenius, Hist. Musc.: 117, t. 17, f. 35. 1741. - Voucher: Herb. Dillenius (OXF) .

Current name: Sphaerophorus globosus (Huds.) Vain. ( Sphaerophoraceae).

Note: Linnaeus explicitly cited as a synonym the validly published Lichen globosus Huds. (1762) in Syst. Nat. ed. 12, but not in the Mantissa account. This was overlooked by Jørgensen & al. (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 115: 318, 377, f. 36. 1994), who accepted Howe’s typification (in Bull. Torrey Bot. Club’i 9: 201. 1912) using 1273.251 (LINN). However, Linnaeus’ name must be homotypic with that of Hudson, which has been typified by Wedin (in Pl. Syst. Evol. 187: 230-231. 1993).
