Taxonomic notes
Stiger et al. (2003: 8) note that S. piluliferum has usually been placed in the Australian subgenus Phyllotrichia but the ITS-2 sequence is exactly the same as the that of S. yendoi and close to other Malacocarpicae. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
Malacocarpicae? Section Sargassum [= Section Malacocarpicae] (Matteo & Payri 2009). According to Cho et al. (2012: 479), S. piluliferum and S. yendoi formed a moderately supported subclade (78-87% bootstrap) with the members of S. sect. Sargassum. - (20 February 2013) - G.M. Guiry
