Topic: Desmid name correction
Originally described as Cosmarium sphagnicolum by W. et G.S.West
However it should be Cosmarium sphagnicola W. et G.S.West 1897.
Apparently a nomenclature technical correct as according to Algaebase "The epithet "sphagnicola" is not declinable.".
Please can this be corrected?
In the meantime I am removing our old records of C. sphagnicolum from our NBN dataset to prevent confusion as we use. C. sphagnicola on our website.
Thanks
Christine
