Remark: The assignment of this species toArthrospira was supported by C.T. Tseng & Chang (1990: 38), who observed numerous cross walls in sections of trichomes. Drouet (1968: 17, 20) chose a specimen in L as the lectotype of this species and assigned it to Spirulina subsalsa Oersted. [details] | |||||||||||||
