The Australian Algae Name Index (AANI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with algae names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. AANI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian Algae, please use the Australian Algae List (AAL) link above.
Comment:Womersley 1994 The marine benthic flora of southern Australia IIIA p. 320 refers to this as an accepted name but Stegenga et al. 1997 is followed here.
