Fucus volubilis Linnaeus , Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1344. 1759.

["Habitat in Mari Mediterraneo."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1627 (1763). RCN: 8269, 8309.

Lectotype (Irvine in Spencer & al. in Taxon, in press): Herb. Linn. No. 1274.47 ( LINN) .

Current name: Osmundaria volubilis (L.) R.E. Norris ( Rhodomelaceae ).

Note: See discussion by Norris (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 106: 15. 1991), who treated unspecified material in L as the holotype. This cannot be traced but is very unlikely to have been original material for the name (see Spencer & al. in Taxon, in press).
