Abstract
There are no herbarium specimens or culture material for the type of Lulworthia fucicola G.K. Sutherl. With the absence of original material, and to preserve current usage of the name, a neotype is designated hereby. The neotype chosen for L. fucicola is a specimen from Chile.
Appreciation is expressed to NY for loan of herbarium material. I am grateful to Drs Brigitte Volkmann-Kohlmeyer, Jan Kohlmeyer, Tom Gräfenhan, Joey Spatafora, Walter Gams, Dick Korf and Carol Shearer for helpful suggestions on the neotypification of L. fucicola. My thanks also go to the reviewers for insightful and constructive comments on the manuscript.
