Gracilaria fastigiata J. Agardh, 1852 [1851–1863]: 600 (type locality: Falkland Islands).
Callophyllis fastigiata (J. Agardh) J. Agardh, 1876: 229.—Barton, 1893: 141.
Note: Papenfuss made the following notes on this record: "June 21, 1940. An examination of the specimen referred to by Barton [Hohenacker exsiccata in BM, supposedly from Cape Agulhas] has shown that it is of Calloph. fastigiata (J. Ag.) J. Ag. It is practically certain, however, that a mixup of labels has occurred somewhere as this sp. does not occur in S. Africa.''
