Taxonomic notes
Stiger et al. (2003: 8) note that the results of their studies support the view of Noro et al. (1995) that S. yendoi should be transferred from subgenus Phyllotrichia to the subgenus Sargassum. Their studies reveal that the ITS-2 sequences of S. yendoi and S. piluliferum are exactly the same and close to other Malacocarpicae species. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
Malacocarpicae? Section Sargassum [= Section Malacocarpicae] (Matteo & Payri (2009). According to Cho et al. (2012: 479), S. piluliferum and S. yendoi formed a moderately supported subclade (78-87% bootstrap) with the members of S. sect. Sargassum. - (20 February 2013) - G.M. Guiry
