Taxonomic note
See Oscillatoria divergens Corda 1836. Later Starting Point. [Because Oscillatoria divergens Corda was listed by Gomont (1892) as a species inquirenda (i.e., not accepted by Gomont), L. divergens is to be attributed directly to Dalla Torre & Sarnthein] [INA] - (19 April 2016) - Salvador Valenzuela Miranda
