From editor or global species database
Identification Linnaeus (1767: 1295) cited this name of Pallas as one of the synonyms of Alcyonium cydonium. Linnaeus' name persisted, whereas Pallas' name, despite having priority, was not used by authors after 1899. It is a forgotten name eligible to be suppressed under ICZN art. 23.9.1.and 2. [details]
