Later, Heydrich (1897c:415-416) elevated f. molle to specific
rank and thus lectotypified 5. ptychoides with f. durum.
Foslie (1900d:8) proposed the conspecificity of Lithothamnion
erythraeum and both forms of Sporolithon ptychoides. We
are not convinced of the usefulness of giving taxonomic
recognition to forma molle.
