From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Eschara foliacea Linnaeus 1758 is the same species as Flustra foliacea in Linnaeus 1761 (p.539). As the first named species of Eschara in 1758, it is implicitly the type species. This makes Eschara and Flustra synonymous. Confusion has been caused by some early identification of this species with Millepora foliacea Ellis & Solander, 1786. [details]
