Conferva amphibia Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1164. 1753. "Habitat in Europae udis, fossis, umbrosis, ubi aquae vicissitudines servant." RCN: 8379. Type not designated. Original material: [icon] in Dillenius, Hist. Musc.: 22, t. 4, f. 17. 1741. Current name: Vaucheria sp. (Vaucheriaceae). Note: For a discussion of the difficulties associated with this name, see Christensen (in Brit. Phycol. Bull. 3: 466-467. 1968), who treated it as a " species minus cognita ". The name may threaten Vaucheria dillwynii (F. Weber & Mohr) C. Agardh and may be a candidate for rejection., Published as part of Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part C), pp. 370-473 in Order out of Chaos.

Conferva canalicularis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1164. 1753. "Habitat in Europae rivulis, tubulis, canalibus molendinariis." RCN: 8378. Lectotype (Christensen in Brit. Phycol. Bull. 3: 466. 1968): [icon] " Conferva rivulorum capillacea, densissime congestis ramulis " in Dillenius, Hist. Musc.: 21, t. 4, f. 15. 1741. - Voucher: Herb. Dillenius (OXF). Current name: Vaucheria canalicularis (L.) T.A. Chr. (Vaucheriaceae). Note: Van den Hoek (Revis. Eur. Sp. Cladophora: 223. 1963) designated material in the Dillenius herbarium as the type but as this was not studied by Linnaeus, it cannot be original material. Christensen (in Brit. Phycol. Bull. 3: 465-466. 1968) treated Dillenius’ description as the type but clearly included the cited plate as part of this. As a consequence, his statement is accepted as a formal typification of the name., Published as part of Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part C), pp. 370-473 in Order out of Chaos.

Conferva fontinalis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1164. 1753. "Habitat in Europae fontibus." RCN: 8376. Lectotype (Christensen in Brit. Phycol. Bull. 3: 465, f. 1-4. 1968): [icon] " Conferva minima Byssi facie " in Dillenius, Hist. Musc.: 14, t. 2, f. 3. 1741. - Voucher: Herb. Dillenius (OXF). Current name: Vaucheria fontinalis (L.) T.A.

Conferva dichotoma Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1165. 1753. "Habitat in Angliae fossis pratorum." RCN: 8382. Lectotype (Christensen, Seaweeds Brit. Isles 4: 15. 1987): [icon] " Conferva dichotoma, setis porcinis similis " in Dillenius, Hist. Musc.: 17, t. 3, f. 9. 1741. - Voucher: Herb. Dillenius (OXF). Current name: Vaucheria dichotoma (L.) Mart. (Vaucheriaceae). Note: See Christensen (in Brit. Phycol. Bull. 3: 465. 1968), who discussed Dillenius’ description, figures and voucher material in OXF (the latter reproduced as f. 5, 6), stating (p. 463) that the Dillenian material was the type. This, however, was not seen by Linnaeus and is not original material for the name. Christensen (in Brit. Phycol. J. 21: 275. 1986) subsequently treated Linnaeus’ description as the type but this is contrary to Art. 8.1., Published as part of Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part C), pp. 370-473 in Order out of Chaos.
