          <public-note>Lang and Stackebrandt 2009 asserted that M271 is no longer available. Opinion 102 states that Windsor M271 is not herbarium material and hence cannot be considered preserved specimens under Rule 18a(1). This excludes the possibility of designating type strains under Rule 18f.</public-note>
