[Taxacom] Ceramium papillosa (Forsk.) AG

[Martin Dubé]

{ SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1}Thank you for your replies.  Then, nothing seems to indicate that this name 
is legitimate.  The suggestion that the real name would be Laurencia 
papillosa seems right as this is a name used in Taylor, W.R. & C.H. Arndt 
1929.  The marine algae of the Southwestern Peninsula of Hispaniola.  
Amer. J. Bot. 16(9): 651-662.  where the specimen bearing that name 
should be found (unfortunately, no collection number were used).  And no, I 
do not have picture of the specimen.

Thanks again.

Martin
