Summary Three names are recommended for conservation against the names indicated: Gelidium bipectinatum ( Rhodophyceae ) against Fucus serra; Scrippsiella ( Dinophyceae ) against Heteraulacus and Goniodoma and Gloeobacter violaceus ( Cyanophyceae ) against Aphanothece caldariorum, Gloeothece coerulea, and Gloeothece linearis, while two names are recommended for conservation with a conserved type: Chara hispida ( Characeae ) and Gloeothece ( Cyanophyceae ). Three names are recommended for outright rejection, Jania verrucosa ( Rhodophyceae ), Cyanospira ( Cyanophyceae ) and Goniodomataceae ( Dinophyceae ), but the name Gonyaulax catenella ( Dinophyceae ) should not be rejected. The Committee concluded that the names Geisleria Nitschke (Fungi) and Geissleria Lange‐Bert. & Metzeltin ( Bacillariophyceae ) are not sufficiently alike to be confused.
