Naming
The species was originally described from greenhouses in a Berlin botanical garden as Detodesmus attemsi Schubart, 1934. The description and placement was based on immature specimens. The error in placement was corrected by Verhoeff in 1941, but the species has been featured as Detodesmus attemsi long after that nevertheless
Distribution
Initially known from European hothouses only it was later established that the original range of distribution must be in the Andes. Meantime it has also been found in hothouses in Brazil.References:
