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:Baldock 1976:551 indicates that the type material of this name may represent A. licmophorum but could also represent A. elongatum. For this reason the later binomial C. licmophorum is used as the base name for the taxon (see also Silva et al 1996 Univ. Calif. Public Bot. 79:375).
