Status of Name
This name is currently regarded as a synonym of Cloniophora spicata (Schmidle) A.K.Islam.

Islam, A.K.M.N. (1961). The genus Cloniophora Tiffany. Revue Algologique, Nouvelle Serie 6: 7-32, 3 figs, 5 plates, 1 map.
Type Information
Type locality: Indrapura, Western Sumatra; (INA 1996) Type: Dr. C Klasi; 1888; (INA 1996) Notes: According to Carlile et al. (2011:1381, 1382), Schmidle did not specify the collector or the type specimen. They note that a collection of specimens by Weber-van Bosse from West Sumatra in 1888 (collection n.686), housed at Leiden Herbarium, was annotated by Islam in 1960 as C. spicatum and is listed under this name in his review of the genus (Islam 1961). They consider it likely that Schmidle based S. spicatum on these specimens and they designate Leiden 0835368 (Weber-van Bosse #686) as neotype.
