Nomenclatural note
"The genus Decaisnella was segregated from Udotea by Farghaly (1980: 95, 256), but the generic name is invalid since the author did not provide a Latin diagnosis and thus failed to satisfy Art. 36.2. The intended combination is thus invalid in accordance with Art. 43.1." (Silva, Bassion & Moe 1996). - (01 February 2020) - M.D. Guiry
