Abstract
Studies of Brazilian diatoms are among the oldest in Latin America. However, the history of diatomology in Brazil has only recently been explored in detail. During this time, some equivocated interpretations have been committed. One was about the nationality of Father Karl Zimmermann, recently published in Diatom Research. We are compelled to clarify this point in order to contribute to the history of diatomology in Brazil and around the world.
