Lichen digitatusLinnaeus, Species Plantarum2: 1152. 1753, nom. cons.
"Habitat in Europae sylvis sterilibus." RCN: 8235.
Conserved type ( Jorgensen& al. in Taxon43: 652. 1994): Sweden. Ostrogothia, Stenhammarin Lieh. Suec. Exsicc. No. 195 (UPS).
Note:See discussion by Jorgensen& al. (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc.304-305. 1994). The only extant original element is that of Dillenius, which represents Cladoniafloerkiana(Fr.) Floerke. In order to avoid a change of name, Jorgensen& al. successfully proposed the conservation of the name with a conserved type.
