Abstract

The name Vaucheria compacta var. dulcis is based on 1974 Latin diagnosis and validated here by the type indication in connection with new records of the alga from the Gulf of Finland. The holotype is a specimen identified by J. Simons and stored in the Leiden herbarium of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center (L). The Baltic Sea specimens match the diagnosis in the key feature, the morphology of antheridia.

Keywords: Vaucheria compacta var. dulcis, yellow-green algae, Gulf of Finland
