Taxonomic remark Original publication details not traced (possibly a nomen nudum), name reported in "Science" journal, report on Boston meeting, published January 1923: "One of the most interesting discoveries of its kind recently made is that of E. Thiessen, who has found that the rubber-like mass called "coorongite," found in South Australia, is the "peat stage" of boghead coals. The plant forming this rich oil-bearing substance is a colonial alga-like organism, named, "Elaeococcus," and not previously recognized by botanists." Thiessen wrote in 1925: "On account of the resemblance of this organism to forms that are often termed cocci and the large amount of oil it yields, the name Elaeococcus was first proposed for it by the writer and has appeared in print. But it was found that the term Elaeococca had been applied by Moritz Hill to one of the Euphorbiaceae found in Japan and China, Elaeococca vernicia. The name Elaeococca therefore has priority over Elaeococcus, which had to be abandoned. " A junior homonym of Elaeococca Commerson ex A.H.L. Jussieu, 1824 (=Elaeococcus Sprengel, 1826) (Euphorbiaceae); replacement name is Elaeophyton R. Thiessen, 1925, currently treated as a synonym of Botryococcus. [details]
