Re: Vaucheria Alga Synonym Needed

Steve,

Both are listed as accepted species in Algaebase. What is the basis for your synonymy?

Re: Vaucheria Alga Synonym Needed

Charles,

My apologies for this but it has been so long since I wrote this one that I can no longer remember (getting older). 

I would now agree that Vaucheria bursata is a separate species. However, it seems to be a species which is not on the Dictionary (according to the facility at: (http://data.nbn.org.uk/nbnexamples/ws-t … Search.jsp).

Perhaps you could add this to the Dictionary under the details of:

- Vaucheria bursata (O.F.Müller) C.Agardh (1811)

Many thanks.

Steve
