Description
Ricciocarpos natans is a member of the Ricciaceae family and is commonly referred to as Fringed Heartwort. It has a wide distribution, occurring in areas such as Labrador, Québec, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and several regions in South America. The scientific name was published in 1829. Taxonomic studies have noted that while a Buddle collection in OXF was suggested as the holotype by Isoviita (1970) and Grolle (1976), this material was not examined by Linnaeus and is not considered original material for the name.
