Flatfish entire order was John Roxborough Norman's "Monograph of the Flatfishes" published in 1934. New species are described with some regularity and undescribed species likely remain. Hybrids are well known in flatfishes. The Pleuronectidae, of marine fishes, have the largest number of reported hybrids. Two of the most famous intergeneric hybrids are between the European plaice ("Pleuronectes platessa") and European flounder ("Platichthys flesus") in the Baltic Sea, and between the English sole ("Parophrys vetulus") and starry flounder ("Platichthys stellatus") in Puget Sound.

Hydnellum aurantiacum Hydnellum aurantiacum Hydnellum aurantiacum is an inedible fungus, commonly known as the orange spine or orange Hydnellum for its reddish orange or rusty red colored fruit bodies. Like other tooth fungi, it bears a layer of spines rather than gills on the underside of the cap. Due to substantial declines in sightings, this species is listed as critically endangered in the United Kingdom. "Hydnellum aurantiacum" was first described by the German naturalist August Batsch in 1789, with the name "Hydnum suberosum" var. "aurantiacum". It was given its current scientific name by Petter Karsten, who transferred it to "Hydnellum" in 1879.
