  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Ferroplamaceae".
  • 🧍 Irregularly formed name. The expected name to be formed from Ferroplasma would be "Ferroplasmataceae" because the genitive of plasma is plasmatos (Latin plasmatis). See also the discussion in Silva (1980). Publication: Silva PC. Names of classes and families of living algae with special reference to their use in the Index Nominum Genericorum (Plantarum).
