Taxonomic note
Leliaert & Coppejans (2006: 664) cite this as a taxonomic synonym of Cladophoropsis membranacea. They note that the Indo-Pacific representatives of Cladophoropsis membranacea (B. kaenana and B.trukensis) can be confused with irregular plants of B. composita, from which they can be distinguished by the longer apical cells, the lower abundance of tenacular cells and crystal morphology. - (04 December 2006) - G.M.
