Distributional note
Skaloud et al. (2018: 222): "Europe: little-known; the original description of the species was based on material collected from leaves of Anthurium scherzerianum in the tropical greenhouse of the botanical garden of Padua, Italy. De Toni (1889) also reported the presence of this species in greenhouses in Czech Republic. However, it cannot be excluded that the alga was introduced in these environments as epiphyte of tropical plants transported from extra-European regions; its presence in the field in Europe is therefore in need of confirmation...". - (20 March 2018) - M.D. Guiry
