Nomenclatural Comment: (= G.macrocarpa Lg, 1909, p. 506) Fig 34 (pl. 90 [of 1929 publication] This form is very distinctive to us, and only known from the Snares. The Snares plants were collected by Mr. J. Crosby Smith, during the Hinemoa expedition.. In "The Sub-Antarctic Islands of New Zealand," the senior author, following A. Gepp treated this as a form of G. macrocarpa, but a better knowledge of the latter species shows it to be qutie distince., The name Gigartina clavifera var. tortuosa Laing & Gourlay was not clearly typified in the protologue. The current name for this entity, following Algaebase.org (July 2023) is Gigartina macrocarpa J.Agardh (1976). Both this, and the species Gigartina clavifera J.Agardh (1876) were recognised for New Zealand in Nelson et al (2019) Conservation status of New Zealand Macroalgae
