Thuret !), Antillas (Mazé et Schramm in herb. Crouan !), etiam aquas thermales apud Terracine Italiae (Fiorini Mazzanti in herb. Lenormand !).; (Gomont 1893: 142) Notes: "insulae Puffin Hiberniae" probably refers to Puffin Island in Anglesey, Wales. A lectotype from the Agardh herbarium would be appropriate.
