Description Pallas described Alcyonium papillosum, sp. 204, p. 350: Definition: a crust, covered with large convex nipples.
A crust covered with rocks, greyish-rusty, resembling dried leather, rising into unequal nipples, large, turgid, convex, impressed with a wrinkled, contracted rim, piled up in distinct, hollow columns, made of the same leather. I have only seen a single specimen of this, in the collection of the Most Serene Prince of Arausion (= collection of the Stadhouder Prince of Holland). The Alcyonium surpasses all others in size of papillae.
Locality: unknown.
He refers to L.F. Marsili, 1725 (Histoire physique de la mer. De'Pens, Amsterdam), who described on p. 86 and figured on Pl. 15 fig. 76 a 'Champignon de Mer', collected at Cassidaigne, Mediterranean coast of France, at a depth of 160m, but there is no figure by Pallas himself.
(there are translations of Pallas, (Boddaert, 1768 and Wilkens, 1787), who reproduced Marsili's illustration). [details]
Homonymy This name is a senior primary homonym of Alcyonium papillosum Lamarck, 1815. Lamarck says the specimen was collected in the Indian Ocean by Péron & Lesueur (this would be likely a specimen from Australia). The specimen was not found in the Lamarck collection in the Muséum d''Histoire Naturelle at the time Topsent (1933) redescribed Lamarck's material. Apart from that specimen Lamarck also described a variety B which would be from Europe, with fewer papillae, similar to what was described by Ellis and Ellis & Solander as Spongia urens, and by Linnaeus, 1767 as Spongia tomentosa (the variety B thus would be like Halichondria panicea).
