Note "Authority: The Hartman catalogue under the entry for genus Spirographis wrongly attributes the authorship of Spirographis spallanzanii to Viviani (1805) who created genus Spirographis. Instead it is clear from Viviani (1805) that he is deriving his usage as Spirographis spallanzanii from the existing names for this prominent species, including Tubularia spallanzanii which thus must be the original name, with Viviani moving it in a new combination to his new genus as the type species. This wrong attribution is commented on by Knight-Jones & Perkins (1998: 395) although without mentioning the instance in Hartman's catalogue." for taxon Spirographis spallanzanii (Gmelin, 1791) has been added by Geoffrey Read via the webinterface on 2024-08-07T23:15:50+00:00
