Contribution to the Seaweed Flora of Namibia: New Records of Rhodophyta
-
J. Rull Lluch
Abstract
Eleven species of Rhodophyta are recorded for the first time from the coast of Namibia. Morphological, anatomical and reproductive features of these species as well as their local and world distributions are provided. Likewise, taxonomic comments are given for most species, including the comparison with the available data of the taxon considered or with other similar taxa. Among these eleven species we highlight Gastroclonium reflexum (Chauvin) Kützing and Antithamnion secundum Itono, previously unrecorded from the Southern Atlantic Ocean, Haematocelis epiphytica Baardseth, until now only reported from Tristan da Cunha, and Porphyra saldanhae Stegenga, Bolton et Anderson, a species recently described from South Africa.
