Distributional note
"We agree with Gómez Garreta et al. (2001: 434 e 443, note 60) that many Mediterranean records of Acrosorium and/or Nitophyllum having "uncinatum" as specific or infraspecific epithet, are misidentification of Ac. venulosum [= Ac. ciliolatum]." (Cormaci & al. 2023: 462). - (06 December 2023) - M.D. Guiry
