  • 🧍 Illegitimate according to Silva (1980) because based on Anabaena Bory ex Bornet et Flahault 1886, which is a later homonym. "Conservation of Anabaena, which I have proposed elsewhere, would make Anabaenaceae available." The same author regards the name as a synonym of Nostocaceae. Publication: Silva PC.
