Alternatively, it may be appropriate to create a new page at Macrocystis (alga). Anybot ( contact operator) 15:18, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Infobox
I would like to know why the biota infobox on this page differs from all other biota pages in having a Domain as its root. I would also like to know why there is a phyllum in this box -- is it simply because you had the data, and didn't for some other species (Lion)? We might have access to a large amount of phyllum classification via ETHAN, to which I have programmatic access. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leegee23 (talk • contribs) 07:58, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Macrocystis integrifolia and Macrocystis pyrifera into Macrocystis
Has been made monospecific in 2010 Artoria2e5 🌉 04:38, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support - Algaebase seems to agree. --awkwafaba (📥) 15:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support as per Algaebase, which has since percolated through most other applicable DBs (e.g. WoRMS). -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:38, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Libcub (talk) 02:27, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I think, now that several months have gone by since the initial proposal with no opposition to a merge, you're clear to move forward with this. Pinging as the originator of the idea.  Joyous! | Talk 05:54, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Not gonna be a quick job, but I will try! Artoria2e5 🌉 15:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Macrocystis laevis
Macrocystis laevis C.H.Hay was described in 1986. Distribution is now probably by mistake referenced "Abbott, 1976". Schiel & Foster, 2015, ISBN 978-0-520-27886-8, on pages 6 and 13 assert distribution only from sublittoral of Marion Island as like as AlgaeBase: Macrocystis laevis C.H.Hay. -xfi- (talk) 12:11, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
