Nomenclatural note
Invalid: Ganesan, West & Necchi (2018: 15) note: "The strongly twisted nature of the carpogonial branches in this entity indicates it is assignable to Kumanoa rather than Batrachospermum. Recognition of this entity as a valid species requires a full description and designation of a holotype specimen." Not seen. - (08 August 2018) - M.D. Guiry
