Nomenclatural note
Name included by Batters (1902:69) as Cystoclonium purpureum ß cirrhosa (J.Agardh); mention of two varietal names in J.Agardh (1851: 308, as cirrhosa and scorpioides) refers to a variety that might pass under the names cirrhosa or scorpioides and does not constitute valid publication. - (27 July 2015) - M.D. Guiry

Taxonomic note
Formation of terminal tendrils is frequently found in populations of this species and does not constitute grounds for recognition of a separate taxonomic entity. - (18 January 2016) - M.D. Guiry
