Nomenclatural note
Rhodymenia palmata var. latifolia f. quercifolia Rosenvinge is often cited as the basionym with Rhodymenia palmata f. quercifolia (Rosenvinge) Rosenvinge being cited as a new combination. However, names only have priority in their own rank, so the correct citation is Rhodymenia palmata f. quercifolia Rosenvinge, dating from 1893 - (28 July 2015) - M.D. Guiry
