Chrooderma
The following sentence occured in this article: "Chrooderma is its basionym.[1]" I have removed it, as this is grossly inaccurate. Genera do not have basionyms; a basionym is a descriptor of a binomial, never of a generic name (if species "a" was originally placed in genus "B" but has since been moved to genus "C", the basionym would be "B a" and the current name "C a"). For the species Cephaleuros endophyticus the basionym is Chrooderma endophytica and I assume that is the origin of this error. If a page is created for that species, I would suggest including this information there. However, this is a matter of the nomenclature of that particular species, not of the genus as a whole. Also note that algaebase, cited in the article, correctly describes the situation. Paalexan (talk) 07:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
