[=Costaria costata (C, Agardh) Saunders] This is the specimen upon which Menzies based his description and sketch, which Ww. J. Hooker in turn used as the basis for pl.’226 in Turner's Fuci. Assuming the date (1788) to be correct, it was collected by Menzies while on board the "Prince of Wales! during a fur-trading voyage of discovery. Although details of this voyage are scanty, it can be concluded that the provenance of this specimen is either British Columbia or Alaska (cf. C, F, Newcombe (ed.), Menzies' Journal of Vancouver's Voyage, April to October, 1792, Archives of British Columbia, Memoir 5: xiii-xv, 1923). ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN EDINBURGH E00414483
