Taxonomic note
"Erected by BORY (1832: 206) based on plants collected from Sapience islet (Peloponnese). ATHANASIADIS (2016: 292) placed the species under the genus Amphiroa based on Bory's protologue and plates. However, in the absence of the type specimen and a detailed diagnosis of it we agree with CORMACI et al. (2017) to place the species within the the taxa inquirenda."
