IOC entry for Homoeothrix juliana

Previous entry: Heteroleibleinia pusilla

Homoeothrix Thuret ex Kirchner, nom. cons.

Note: This genus is traditionally assigned to the Rivulariaceae, but in the opinion of Anagnostidis & Komárek (1988: 432) the lack of heterocysts and akinetes supports its placement in the Oscillatoriales.
