Abstract
Schimmelmannia venezuelensis sp. nov. (Gloiosiphoniaceae, Rhodophyta) is described on the basis of sexual plants collected from the State of Vargas, Venezuela. This material had previously been identified as Schimmelmannia plumosa (Setch.) I.A. Abbott but has been observed to have a post-fertilization development that differs from all other species of the genus for which post-fertilization details are known. Because there is a direct fusion between the carpogonium and the auxiliary cell after fertilization (unlike the fertilized carpogonium undergoing one or more transverse divisions prior to contact with the auxiliary cell as in other Schimmelmannia species), the Venezuelan plants are described herein as a distinct species.
