Sign in to saveDolichospermum is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Nostocaceae. It was created by splitting from Anabaena using molecular evidence. It is paraphyletic as the author intends: the genera Aphanizomenon and Cuspidothrix, though cladistically included, have "distinct and unique" morphological features that set them apart.
