Lichen cornucopioides Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1151. 1753, nom. utique rej.

"Habitat in Lapponiae, Sueciae, Angliae sylvis glareosis." RCN: 8231.

Lectotype ( Jørgensen & al. in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 115: 296, f. 19. 1994): Herb. Linn. No. 1273.217, young podetium (LINN) .

Current name: Cladonia cornuta (L.) Hoffm. ( Cladoniaceae).
