Nomenclatural note
The name Saccharina crassifolia (Miyabe) C.E. Lane, C. Mayes, Druehl & G.W. Saunders was illegitimate due to the prior use of the binomial for a different taxon by Kuntze (1891). The replacement name is Saccharina sculpera C.E.Lane, C.Mayes, Druehl & G.W.Saunders (see Corrigendum in J. Phycol. 42: 962). - (24 October 2006) - G.M. Guiry
