Record Details:

Zygomycetes G. Winter, Rabenh. Krypt.-Fl., Edn 2 (Leipzig) 1.1: 32 (1880) [1884]

Editorial comment:
This term was used without rank by Brefeld (Bot. Untersuch. Schimmelpilze I: 53, 1872). Copeland (1956: 121) and Kreisel (1969: 75) attribute this name to Sachs (Lehrb. Bot., ed. 4: 248, 1874) where the name is given as 'Zygomyceten' without rank but given the correct ending in the English edition (Bennett & Thistleton-Dyer, 1875). This is given by Copeland as '(Sachs ex Bennett & Thistleton-Dyer) Winter' and by Kreisel as 'Sachs ex Winter'. Cavalier-Smith (Biol. Rev. 73: 246, 1998) introduces the name as 'cl. nov.' and comments that it does not appear to have been validly published elsewhere
