Distributional note
Results of studies carried out by O'Kelly et al. (2010) suggest that Ulva populations in tropical and subtropical regions consist of species that are largely unique to these areas, for which the application of names based on types from temperate and boreal European and North American waters is inappropriate. - (01 September 2010) - G.M. Guiry

Habitat note
mid and high intertidal; tide pool; epilithic (Augyte & Shaughnessy, 2014). - (03 December 2014) - G.M. Guiry
