Cystoseira pustulata is a species of brown alga in the genus Cystoseira .
Cystoseira pustulata occurs in the Mediterranean and Northeast Atlantic (Azores, Canary Islands). [2] Records of Cystoseira humilis in the Mediterranean refer to this species. [2]
Cystoseira pustulata has variously been treated as a variety or subspecies of Cystoseira compressa , [3] [4] [5] or considered a synonym of C. humilis, [6] but constitutes a distinct genetic entity not closely related to either. [2]
