I. MACKENZIE LAMB: A Conspectus of Stereocaulon<br />

St. ramulosum [subsp.]* roccelloides TH. FR.<br />

Typus: Hawaiian Islands, Oahu, near Honolulu, leg. N. J. ANDERSON (date ?) (UPS-TH FR, lectotypus;<br />

lectotypified by DODGE, 1929, p. 140).<br />

St. assimile NYL.<br />

Typus: RBunion (Bourbon) Island, Piton des Neiges, "a 1600 toises sur les rochers", leg. BORY<br />

DE SAINT-VINCENT (date ?) (PC, holotypus; H-NYL, no. 40077, isotypuss4).<br />

St. lecanoreum NYL.<br />

Typus: Colombia, near Antioquia, leg. D. JERVIS (date ?) (H-NYL, no. 40142, ex herb. HOOKER,<br />

holotypus).<br />

St. mixtum sorediatum NYL.<br />

Typus: Mexico, exact locality not stated, leg. GALEOTTI (date ?) (no. 6921) (H-NYL or PC ? Not<br />

seen by us). VAINIO, who apparently saw the type material, stated it to be synonymous with St. peladense<br />

VAIN. (=St. stricturn TH. FR.) (VAINIO, 1926).<br />

St. ramuIosum f. compressum NYL.<br />

Typus: "In America aequinoctiali", locality not stated, leg. BONPLAND (PC, not seen by us).<br />

NYLANDER'S description leaves no doubt as to its identity with St. stricturn var. cornpressurn (NYL.)<br />

LAMB. Not to be confused with St. ramulosum var. cornpressurn BAB. (=St. fionduliferurn LAMB).<br />

APPENDIX 2<br />

A. Doubtful taxa<br />

St. botryosum subsp. islandicum DUVIGN.<br />

Biol. Jaarb. "Dodonaea", 8: 160 (1941).<br />

Typus: Iceland, Thingvellir, on lava among mosses, leg. VAN OYE, 1938 (no. 5) (formerly in BRLU,<br />

destroyed in World War 11, acc. to P. DUVIGNEAUD, personal comrnun.).<br />

According to DUVIGNEAUD'S description, morphologically similar to St. botryosum ACH.<br />

em. FREY but differing in its chemical constituents as shown by the form of the crystals produced<br />

in GE solution after extraction with acetone. Since the substance present was not<br />

characterized chemically, the identity of the taxon remains dubious.<br />

St. confluens ff. typica, gracilius, ramosa, fastigiata DUVIGN.<br />

Lejeunia, MCm. no. 14: 84 (1956) (all nomina nuda).<br />

No material seen by us; from DUVIGNEAUD'S illustrations most of them would appear to<br />

refer to St. vesuvianum PERS. (var. vesuvianum). In any case they are to be ignored as nomina<br />

nuda.<br />

St. coralligerum MEYER<br />

Nebenstunden meiner Beschaefftigungen im Gebiete der Manzenkunde, Erster Theil: 156 (1825).<br />

Material mentioned from Chile (leg. CHAMISSO) and Brazil (leg. BEYRICH). Very incompletely<br />

described. There is a specimen in UPS-TH FR labelled "Stereocaulon coralligerum<br />

Called lectotype specimen in LAMB, 1951, p. 528.
