Nomenclatural note
Although the species name Merismopedia warmingiana is usually attributed solely to Lagerheim (1883: 41) the entry on this page is "Merismopedia hyalina subsp. warmingiana Lagerheim" and the name was not treated as a species until later. Forti's (1907: 109) entry could be interpreted as treating the entity as a species. - (03 July 2014) - M.D. Guiry
