Lichen digitatus
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 1152. 1753
,
nom. cons.
"Habitat in Europae sylvis sterilibus." RCN: 8235.
Conserved type (
Jorgensen
& al. in
Taxon
43: 652. 1994): Sweden. Ostrogothia,
Stenhammar
in Lieh. Suec. Exsicc. No. 195 (UPS).
Current name:
Cladonia digitata
(L.) Hoffm.
(
Cladoniaceae
).
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
Cladonia
floerkiana
(Fr.)
Floerke
. In order to avoid a change of name,
Jorgensen
& al. successfully proposed the conservation of the name with a conserved type.
