Taxonomic note
"It should be noted that Feldmann-Mazoyer (1941: 418) and J. Feldmann (1942: 68) observed that spermatangia of G. schousboei, differently from those of G. corallinoides, have no involucral bracts but are provided with long whorled trichoblasts. See also the note to the genus Griffithsia at the entry G. corallinoides." (Cormaci & al. 2023: 397). - (24 November 2023) - M.D. Guiry

Distributional note
“The material from Western Sahara was sterile and it was therefore not possible to attribute it with certainty either to Griffithsia opuntioides or G. schousboei.” (John et al., 2004), - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
