Dr. Almborn provided us with the following note: "As stated by Krok, Rutström was the author of the thesis defended by Haartman. 20 species (1 fern, 14 lichens, 5 fungi) were recorded mainly from prov. Halland (S.W. Sweden). Most of the species described as new have been sunk into synonymy. Only one (*Lichen demissus*) seems to have survived. It is now *Lepidoma demissum* (Rutstr.) Choisy, syn. *Lecidea demissa* (Rutstr.) Ach., *Psora demissa* (Rutstr.) Hepp.-cf. Krempelhuber 1: 82-83. 1867".
