Nomenclatural note
"This name was proposed by Skuja (1938 : 623) as a new name, at the species rank, for B. vagum var. flagelliforme ; it is a nomen novum, validated, before 1953, by the mere reference to the validly published B. vagum var. flagelliforme (Greuter et al 1988 : art. 32.3, 33.2) ; it is not a nomen nudum as stated by Necchi (1989, 1990). The type of this species is not Schultz's specimen, not cited in the protologue, but one of the specimens cited by Sirodot (1884) for his variety. Among these specimens I here designate Sirodot, "Ruisselets de Logerie Haute, 1er Août 1880" in Herbier Thuret (PC) as lectotype of the species ; this specimen bears the determination "B. vagum variété flagelliforme Sirodot ! fructifié" and has been determined by Skuja as "Batrachospermum vogesiacum F.G. Schultz" (Compère 1991: 24). - (21 April 2022) - M.D. Guiry
