ABSTRACT

Costularia Ju. Petrov et I. Gussarova, published in 1970, is a preoccupied name by Clarke, 1898 for a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Cyperaceae (Magnoliophyta) and thus illegitimate. Costulariella nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement. The distribution and morphology of this little-known species are discussed.

Key words: Costularia; Costulariella; Laminariales; morphology
