Nomenclatural note
Introduced as "Delesseria lomentacea nov. sp." in Zanardini (1843: 45) but no description was provided: "È affine alla precedente e trovasi negli stessi luoghi." [It is similar to the previous one and is in the same places.] "This species was described by Zanardini (1841: 428) and, later, more widely described and illustrated by Zanardini himself (Zanardini, 1864: 17, pl. XXXV). Hauck (1883: 174) considered it as a synonym of D. hypoglossum var. woodwardii; while Ardissone (1883: 261) reduced it to as a variety of D. hypoglossum as: D. hypoglossum var. lomentacea (Zanardini) Ardissone." (Cormaci & al. 2023: 514). - (15 November 2017) - M.D. Guiry
