Did you mean Anabaena ballygungii ?
As per the algae base it is the taxonomic synonym of Anabaenopsis ballygungii (Banerji) Komárek & Anagnostidis.

Dear Jackson
Well, taxonomy classification is a continuosly -Changing world- there are many pros and cons for the newest classificatiions and synonyms indifferent of level. Take in count this when you want to use new classification systems at amost al level of systematics and taxonomy units. This is a a litle bit confusing also at least in my opinion.. There are numerous papers about this read them! If we follow the actual concept used in algal classifications-roughly- (in case of- evolutionary point of view) - lower level groups eg. algal and other organisms classification- the human races should be formed by different species- taking in consideration morfological aspects! ! This is only my opinion. Think about it . The genetic aproach classifications has many traps also. Read read and read regarding this issue If you put an algal specimen in a culture medium - in many cases if you change- shift the culturing medium composition the algae are changing in shape, size external and even internal morfologic and physological characteristics as adaptasion result merely than taxonomycal changes. Should we include them on this basis as new species? I don't think the answer is so obvious.
In natural conditions this could be happen also.
Also just take a look on the recent years separation of former Scenedesnus genus- Chlorophyta -Chlorococcales and reconsider the importance of new classifications . Are many pros and cons in my opinion in the reclassifications and systematics of algae!
Hope providing you some useful information for you!
Best regard and greeting

thank you Dr.Zsolt, i have collected some cyanobacteria from rice field, culture in laboratory, and again apply the culture to the rice field, morphology of same species varies between lab culture and environmental culture, most of the time it create confusion.
Dear Shantanu!
As a try to point on it the complexicity of the environmental conditions and shift in some of them has strong, basic , or primary l effect on morfology and metabolitic procesees wich occuring in algae , but not only! In my opinion this is a general thumb rule for living organisms. But of cource if you follow the evolutionary tree from botom to top the adaptesion capacity of orgamisms increase and those changes are not so evident, like in case of algae. by the way I haven't any kind doctoral degree I hope I wiil get the PhD degrre i in some years! Wish you all the bestand succes in your's research and the last advise the Rg is a gold mine for scientific collaboration and acces to the pappers related to your work and research use both of them for helping you in resolving your issues.
With kind regards and greeting
