  • Comment: Millar & Kraft 1994:429 indicate some of May's specimens also fall into C. vagabunda.
  • Comment: Lewis does not say which part of QLD this taxon occurs although it is known to occur in freshwater in QLD (Entwisle et al 1997 "Freshwater Algae in Australia" p.106) This taxon was noted as an incorrect identification of marine material from S.A. and N.S.W. but Womersley 1956:360 did not say to which marine taxon the specimens belonged. Millar & Kraft 1994 Aust Syst Bot 7:427, 429 indicate NSW (May 1938) specimens also fall into C. vagabunda or C. coelothrix.
