EuroVegChecklist

cys08 | In Berner (1931) Ulva lactuca is the only Ulva species in the original diagnosis of the name 'Ulvion' described from the Mediterranean Sea. Boudouresque et al. (1977) proposed to correct the name of one of the associations, the Ulvetum lactucae Berner 1931, to Ulvetum rigidae, because Ulva rigida is the most common species in that habitat in the Mediterranean. Giaccone et al. (1994a: 139, 141) applied the correction also to the names of higher syntaxa. Ulva lactuca is excluded from the Mediterranean Sea in recent monographs (e.g. Cormaci et al. 2014). (H. Bültmann).
