EXCLUDED RECORD

Callithamnion corymbosum (J.E. Smith) Lyngbye

Conferva corymbosa J.E. Smith, 1811 [1790–1814]: pl. 2352 (type locality: Brighthelmston, Sussex, England).

Callithamnion corymbosum (J.E. Smith) Lyngbye, 1819: 125.—J. Murray, 1881: 5.

Note: Although Murray, in his list of algae from Pakistan, accredited the name Callithamnion corymbosum to "Ag.'', it seems certain that he had in mind the present species, which is a recognized member of the North Atlantic flora (see Maggs & Hommersand, 1993: 124). It is not possible, however, to determine what alga he had in hand.
