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. - (11 December 2015) - Salvador Valenzuela Miranda
