Type Information
Type locality: "Ad oras occidentales novae Hollandiae" [Western Australia]; (Agardh 1822: 358) Holotype: PC?; Notes: Agardh (1822: 358) clearly says "Vidi in collectione Musaei Parisiensis" so the holotype should be in PC and the "lectotype" (Womersley 2003: 470), which did not include the required "designated here", in LD (herb. alg. Agardh 36488) is probably a duplicate of the holotype.

Origin of Species Name
Adjective (Latin), thread-like (Stearn 1983).

General Environment
This is a marine species.
