Type information
Type locality: Spitsbergen (Athanasiadis 1996: 214). Lectotype: LD [herb. alg. Agardh] 2013 (Longtin & Saunders 2015: 445).

Art 9.19 [Melbourne Code] clearly specifies "The author who first designates (Art. 7.9 and 7.10) a lectotype or a neotype in conformity with Art. 9.11-13 must be followed, but that choice is superseded if (a) the holotype or, in the case of a neotype, any of the original material is rediscovered; the choice may also be superseded if one can show that (b) it is in serious conflict with the protologue and another element is available that is not in conflict with the protologue, or that (c) it is contrary to Art. 9.14."

Taxonomic notes
Taxon inquirendum (Furnari, pers. comm.). Some authors (e.g. South & Tittley 1986: 30) have treared it as a synonym of Laminaria digitata, whilst others (e.g. Rueness 1977: 170) treat it as a separate entity. See Athanasiadis (1996: 214) for further references.
