The dichotomous species of Codium in Britain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
The name Codium tomentosum (or its nomenclatural synonym C. dichotomum) has been applied to dichotomous representatives of the genus in the British Isles ever since the genus was established by Stackhouse in 1797. The purpose of this paper is twofold: to show that three distinct species are involved; and to clarify the nomenclature.
