| Comments | Three species are included by Petit in the original publication, O. Pacifica (Gr.) Petit, O. pinnata (Ehr.) Petit and O. marina (Greg.) Petit, and no generitype is designated. Van Heurck (1896, ref. 000897, p. 333) and later Boyer (1927, ref. 000155) gave Fragilaria schwartzii Grunow, as the generitype, not an acceptable choice, this species not being one of the original species. Date given in Farr et al. (1979) is 1889. |
