Untitled[edit]

Actually, the name historically has always been badderlocks, which appears in Lightfoot's Flora Scotica (1777). The form "bladderlocks" is a mistake, and "dabberlocks" seems to be a recent variant. Myopic Bookworm 17:19, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dabberlocks is the common name of Alaria eculenta the botancal name by which it known world-wide. As other algae (and other plants?) are entered in Wikipedia under the botanical name I suggest this should be also. See Fucus; Codium; Colpomenia peregrina; Fucus spiralis; Fucus serratus; Gastroclonium; Laminaria; Pelvetia canaliculata and many others.Osborne 16:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Further while some are listed under their common name most algae do not even have a common name for there are over 350 species in the British Isles alone (Morton, O. 1994. Marine algae of Northern Ireland. Ulster Museum, Belfast. ISBN 0 900761 28 8).Osborne 16:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probable confusion[edit]

I suggest some of the features used to describe "Alaria" in-fact may refer only to A.esculents. The illustrations are the same! I know of only one species of the genus however!! 13 species are listed under "Alaria" - q.v.Osborne 19:49, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
