Nomenclatural notes
"Woelkerling & al. (2015a, b) provided a new detailed account of the lectotype of J. crassa and formally proposed rejection of J. verrucosa after finding it was a name of uncertain nomenclatural application." (Woelkerling, Harvey & Reviers 2015: 1286). - (14 January 2016) - M.D. Guiry
"The nomenclatural proposal (Woelkerling et al. 2015c) to reject the name Jania verrucosa was approved by the Permanent Nomenclature Committee for Algae (Prud'homme van Reine 2017, p. 192), endorsed by the General Committee (Wilson 2017, p. 742), and accepted at the Nomenclature Section of the XIX International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen, China (Turland et al. 2017, p. 1236). The name is now included in the list of nomina utique rejicienda in the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants (Turland et al. 2018, appendix V)." (Harvey, Woelkerling & Reviers 2020: 271). - (19 February 2020) - M.D. Guiry
