Type Species
The type species (holotype) of the genus Botryocladia is Gastroclonium uvarium (J.A.Murray) Kützing.

Status of Name
This name is of an entity that is currently accepted taxonomically.

Type Information
Type locality: Western Australia; (Silva & al. 1996: 355) Holotype: Preiss 2567; MEL; 504344 (Silva & al. 1996: 355) Notes: Huisman (pers. comm.) writes: "The type of Botryocladia sonderi is said to be a Preiss collection from Rottnest Island (Silva, Basson & Moe 1996: 355). The holotype in MEL has no information, nor does the Sonder name that it replaced. It might have come from Harvey (1858, pl. 10), also cited in the protologue, but there is no mention of Rottnest there. So, I think the type locality has to be the more general ‘Western Australia’."

General Environment
This is a marine species.

Habitat
From rough-water situations to calm areas with a strong current flow, and from low tide level to 24 m deep (Womersley 1996: 49).
