Type information
Type locality: Faeroe (Dixon & Price 1981: 134). Lectotype: LD, Herb. Alg. Agardh 18997 (Dixon & Price 1981: 134). Notes: Other material: LD, Herb. Alg. Agardh 18994. C. Lyngbye, “hoyviig prope Thorshavn Faeroe", 11 June 1817. PC Lyngbye, Faeroe, undated, labelled “Callithamnion roseum ß tenue", in Lyngbye’s hand. Comments: as discussed under Callithamnion roseum ß tenue (q.v.). C. Agardh made use of Lyngbye exchange material of the latter entity as the basis for Callithamnion scopulorum. The original treatment of the latter quoted “Callithamnion roseum tenue Lyngb".in its synonymy, although there is no mention of Ceramium scopulorum (q.v.), which had already been based (C. Agardh, 1824) on the same material.

Maggs & Hommersand (1993: 105) note: "The dwarf scopulorum form, based on Callithamnion scopulorum from the Faroes, has some distinct morphological characters (Westbrook, 1927), including a lack of cortication, and has recently been shown to be a separate species non-interfertile with A. hookeri (Rueness & L'Hardy-Halos, pers. comm.)." - (13 Oct 2010) - M.D. Guiry
