Lichen vernalis Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 3: 234. 1768, nom. cons.

"Habitat primo vere in aridissimo colle Polonico Upsaliae & passim in Europa." RCN: 8166.

Conserved type ( Jørgensen & al. in Taxon 43: 654. 1994): Sweden. Fries, Lich. Suec. Exsicc. No. 224 (UPS).

Current name: Biatora vernalis (L.) Fr. ( Lecanoraceae).

Note: See review by Jørgensen & al. (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 115: 365, 382. 1994). They chose a Dillenian figure as lectotype, but it and the other original elements do not correspond with usage. These authors, however, successfully proposed the name for conservation with a conserved type.
