Nomenclatural note
Invalid: "Although cited as a binomial combination, Dasythamnlon along with Compsothamnion, Pleonosporium, and Eucallithamnlon, were recognized as subgenera of Callithamnion (Nägeli 1861: 328-44), and hence "Dasythamnion tetricum" is Invalid. Also in the Index (p. 415), Nägeli (l.c.) cited it as 'tetrlcum Dlllw. (Conferva, Callithamnion Ag., Call. Dasythamnlon)'." (Athanasiadis 2016: 807). - (09 February 2017) - M.D. Guiry
