  • Comment: The specimens in Sonder's collection are of Chaetopteris plumosa a European taxon. Womersley indicates this taxon does not occur in Australia.
  • Comment: Womersley incorrectly cites Sonder as the authority of this name. Index Nominum Algarum indicates this name is the basis for Enteromorpha clathrata var. plumosa. According to AlgaeBase this name has not been formally transferred to Ulva.
  • AMANI comment: Misapplication (Womersley, H.B.S., 1967)
