Abstract
Stirnia prolifera gen. et sp. nov. is described from the southern region of the Sultanate of Oman on the northern Arabian Sea. This alga forms clumps of erect axes up to 21 cm in height and arising from a well-developed hold-fast system. In Oman it occurs on wave-impacted rocky shores from the lowest intertidal down to a depth of 8 m. It exhibits a distinctive combination of features, including the solid nature of its compressed, dichotomously branched axes and the production of special small fertile proliferations bearing terminal, tetrahedrally divided tetrasporangia in invaginated regions. Male thalli produce the spermatangia also on special small proliferations. Reasons are presented to assign it to the Lomentariaceae (Rhodymeniales).
