From editor or global species database
Type locality Original type from Australia, location not stated.. Halt et al (2009) comment that "Ten Hove and van den Hurk (1993, p. 35) speculated that [G. caespitosa] were collected from Kangaroo Island in South Australia." The neotype of Halt et al (2009) is from Semaphore Jetty, Largs Bay, Semaphore, Greater Adelaide, South Australia, -34.8378, 138.4797. [details]

Etymology Not stated. The species name "caespitosus" (-a, -um) in Latin refers to turfy, matted, clumped, and thus appears to be a reference to the occurrence of the species in colonies, or as a turf-like extent of many individuals together. [details]
