Taxonomic note
Vis & Necchi (2021: 124) write: "This species is named from material collected in Java and has not been reported since. Sheath et al. (1993) examined the type specimen and determined that it had clavate assimilatory filaments like T. clavata and differed from that species based on the number of monosporangia per cluster. However, the assimilatory filament shown is not convincingly clavate [Fig. 12 in Sheath et al. (1993)] and the number of monosporangia per cluster varies within and among species. Southeast Asia is a region with numerous species having similar morphology such that it would be difficult to determine to which it might be synonymous." - (12 April 2022) - M.D. Guiry
