Description

Byssus lacteus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1169. 1753, nom. utique rej.

"Habitat in Muscis & arborum corticibus." RCN: 8410.

Lectotype (Jørgensen & al. in Taxon 43: 646. 1994): [icon] " Byssus candidissima, calcis instar Muscos vestiens " in Dillenius, Hist. Musc.: 2, t. 1, f. 2. 1741. - Voucher: Herb. Dillenius (OXF).

Note: Jørgensen & al., Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 115: 271, f. 3. (1994) discussed the name, concluding it to be a species non satis nota which they subsequently (in Taxon 43: 646. 1994) successfully proposed for rejection.
