The collection once at [[Collection LINN|LINN]] and now at [[Collection BM|BM]] cannot be considered as representing the type specimens of the *British Confervae*. Many of the descriptions were based on several specimens and these may be located at different institutions. See Dixon (1966) for a discussion. Dillwyn material is at [[Collection BM|BM]], [[Collection C|C]], [[Collection K|K]], [[Collection LD|LD]], [[Collection NMW|NMW]] and [[Collection OXF|OXF]] but also in several other herbaria. *Ref*.: BB p. 92; IH 2: 163. - Dickinson and Newton, Phycol.
