  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Sfigonematales"; "Sigonematales"; "Siigonematales"; "Sligonematales"; "Stigenematales"; "Stigmzemafales"; "Stigoncmatales"; "Stigoneamtales"; "Stigonemafales"; "Stigonemaiales"; "Stigonemalales"; "Stigonemales"; "Stigonemarales"; "Stigonemeatales"; "Stigonemetales"; "Stigonetnatales"; "Stigonwnatales"; "Stigosematales"; "Stigunemafales"; "Stionematales"; "Stygonematales".
  • ❗ Stigonematales is the correct name instead if this order is regarded as a separate order (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another order whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
