Staurastrum gutwinskii f. reductum A.M.Scott Zygnematophyceae AlgaeBase* | Class Zygnematophyceae Family Desmidiaceae |
Description: L. 32.1um, Br. ssp. 32.6um, Br. csp. 54.3um, Isth. 14.8um (Fig. 10c). This taxon is of uncertain rank. Prescott et al. (1982, pl. 343, fig. 13) show a similar taxon as S. magnifurcatum Scott & Gronblad. Another individual is illustrated in Gronblad et al (1958, fog. 317) as S. forficulatum P. Lundell. var. minus (Fritsch et Rich) Gronblad et Scott. Although it has synonymy with S. furcatum Ehrenb. var. minor Fritsch & Rich. Gronblad et al. (1958) do say that they 'willingly admit that its systematcial position is somewhat dubious'. Croasdale & Scott 1976 (p. 546, pl. 16, fig. 2) figure S. gutwinskii C. Bernard f. reductum Scott et Croasdale to which the present author assigns this taxon. (Dingley 2001)
