Nomenclatural note
CAS suggest this this name may be invalid, but gives no reason. INA says that the name was "relegated to var. beta!" and "var. alpha later made P. quadratum by Smith", which may be sufficient to invalidate it. - (11 October 2011) - M.D. Guiry

Taxonomic note
Emended by Sterrenburg (1991: 566; figs 2-34). - (15 March 2016) - M.D. Guiry
