Summary Nielsen, R. & Price, I. R.: Typification of Caulerpa cupressoides (Vahl) C. Agardh and C. taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh (Chlorophyta, Caulerpaceae) . ‐ Taxon 50: 827–836. 2001.‐ISSN 0040‐0262. No specimen of either of two Vahl (1802) taxa, Fucus cupressoides and F. taxifolia , that could represent the holotypes of these names was indicated unambiguously in the protologues. Almost 200 years later, due largely to the lack of critical labelling of original herbarium specimens, it has not been possible to distinguish conclusively any original material of the two taxa. As a result of detailed consideration of numerous specimens in many herbaria, appropriate material for neotypification has been identified: both specimens are at Copenhagen (C), Type No. A‐826 (C 31688) for C. cupressoides and Type No. A‐1086 (C 27833) for C. taxifolia .
