Taxonomic note
According to De Clerck (2003), this species has been subject to confusion in the past due to its ability to form a multilayered cortex. Therefore, Dawson (1950: 84-86) suggested it might belong to the genus Pachydictyon, but this transfer was not widely accepted. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
