Nomenclatural note
The following entry is apparent in the ICBN:
Spirogyra Link in Nees, Horae Phys. Berol.: 5. 1-8 Feb 1820.
Typus: S. porticalis (O. F. Müll.) Dumort. (Comment. Bot.: 99. Nov (sero) - Dec (prim.) 1822) (Conferva porticalis O. F. Müll.).
Clearly, "Spirogera" Dumortier is being treated as a typographical error for Spirogyra Link. - (26 October 2010) - M.D. Guiry
